README.md: Add high-level link to optional image-layout
To make it clear that supporting image-layout is optional, because there's no way to test support without requiring a particular backend (tar, HTTP, etc.). Also adjust the hashing wording folling Jonathan's suggestion [1] so we can justify a link to descriptor.md while staying close to the current scope-table wording.
