Subject: [PATCH] README: balance intro between Bitcoin sovereignty and
 sovereign computing

- Replace tagline with 'Bitcoin sovereignty. Sovereign computing. One system.'
- Open with both pillars as 'inseparable freedoms'
- Extend growth path beyond node/infrastructure to include private cloud and comms
- Remove standalone 'Privacy. Sovereignty. Bitcoin.' from intro (branding holds it at page close)
