Docs: Update the README of the published package
The previous details were showing their age, e.g. mentions about browsers
not supporting ES2015. The story with ES modules is more complex as it's also
about loaders but to keep the README simple, let's just make it more up to date
with typical usage.

# jQuery
> jQuery is a fast, small, and feature-rich JavaScript library.
For information on how to get started and how to use jQuery, please see [jQuery's documentation](https://api.jquery.com/).
For source files and issues, please visit the [jQuery repo](https://github.com/jquery/jquery).
If upgrading, please see the [blog post for @VERSION](@BLOG_POST_LINK). This includes notable differences from the previous version and a more readable changelog.
## Including jQuery
Below are some of the most common ways to include jQuery.
### Browser
#### Script tag
```html
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-@VERSION.min.js"></script>
```
#### Webpack / Browserify / Babel
There are several ways to use [Webpack](https://webpack.js.org/), [Browserify](http://browserify.org/) or [Babel](https://babeljs.io/). For more information on using these tools, please refer to the corresponding project's documentation. In the script, including jQuery will usually look like this:
```js
import $ from "jquery";
```
If you need to use jQuery in a file that's not an ECMAScript module, you can use the CommonJS syntax:
```js
var $ = require( "jquery" );
```
#### AMD (Asynchronous Module Definition)
AMD is a module format built for the browser. For more information, we recommend [require.js' documentation](https://requirejs.org/docs/whyamd.html).
```js
define( [ "jquery" ], function( $ ) {
} );
```
### Node
To include jQuery in [Node](https://nodejs.org/), first install with npm.
```sh
npm install jquery
```
For jQuery to work in Node, a window with a document is required. Since no such window exists natively in Node, one can be mocked by tools such as [jsdom](https://github.com/jsdom/jsdom). This can be useful for testing purposes.
```js
const { JSDOM } = require( "jsdom" );
const { window } = new JSDOM( "" );
const $ = require( "jquery" )( window );
```
