Elaborates a lot more on how to edit each part of Moonwave.

It is a bit repetitive to explain the usage of each feature in ## Key features as well as each individual section of ## Building in Development and Contributing, though I think it is nice to have a quick recap on the use before delving into the development details. Additionally, the summaries in the latter section can be more technical.

Referencing the official website twice might not be necessary, but I think it could reduce friction slightly.

The exclamation mark part drove me crazy so I think adding it would be nice, even if it will not affect most people. This is what I was facing in #170. Webpack sometimes gives a proper error for this, but when editing the Docusaurus plugin it was just telling me that it could not resolve the path.

Clown mentioned before that Cargo Insta is not required, but I do not see any way to test without it, so I think maybe it should not even say "recommended to use" and rather list it as a requirement.

I guess I should just say "You" since I know Clown will be the one reading this but it feels weird to use second person in a pull request.

Another note: The website directory has a README that sort of explains how to develop it, but I did not find it very helpful + documenting it in the main Moonwave README makes it easier to access.

If we're expanding the development guide this much, I think it's worth moving it all into a separate CONTRIBUTING.md file and just pointing to that in the README.md

Looks good so far, I'd just like to see the information presented to be more concise and better structure by splitting things up into sections and sub-sections.
