README: Explain total vs. self time #416

It took me a bit when I first started using Speedscope to understand the "total" vs. "self" distinction, and I've heard the same from others. I thought it might be nice to add a little description here in the README - let me know what you think!

@jlfwong I just opened this and #417 and would love any feedback you have. I use Speedscope almost daily, thanks for an awesome tool!
