Adds a "Why boo?" section to the README answering the most common question: what does this offer over GNU screen or tmux?
libghostty-vtand answers terminal queries while detached.send,peek --json,wait --text/--idlevs-X stuff, hardcopy files, and sleep loops.Also adds the section to the README nav line.
Context
Prompted by an HN comment pointing out the README says boo is "a young project, not a drop-in GNU screen replacement" but never states its advantages over screen or tmux. The section text was drafted and reviewed in chat before opening this PR.
