Clarify what Taichi actually "is". #2289

Concisely describe the proposed feature I stumbled upon this project by chance and it looks very interesting. But - I can't make heads or tails. Is this a Python module? Is this a stand-alone language? Is this ment to only be used from within Python? Can the C++ source be utilized with no Python?

Describe the solution you'd like (if any) Make it absolutely clear in README.md what Taichi is, and what it is not. This should eliminate confusion. :)

Additional comments None needed. Simple, small things are nice!
