Add comparison block to README: orchd vs docker-compose vs systemd vs nomad #3

Description

@adiled

The audience needs immediate answers to "how is this different from docker-compose? from raw systemd? from nomad? from pm2?" A short comparison table near the top of the README is high-yield for the effort involved.

Be honest about trade-offs. The audience for service orchestration is technical and skeptical. Oversold copy reads as a red flag.

Action

  • Draft a short comparison table or block (4 to 6 lines per alternative is enough).
  • Place it near the top of the README, after the pitch and before the install snippet.
  • Cover the trade-offs honestly: what orchd does that the alternatives don't, and what the alternatives do that orchd doesn't.
