Restructure the README into logical command groups (core workflow, running Electron, inspecting state, working with code, managing configs, infrastructure) and add a table of contents for navigation.

Fill in documentation for commands that were undocumented or only briefly mentioned: worktree, pr open, pr download-dist, cherry-pick, rcv, backport, gh-auth, npm, load-macos-sdk, and the show subcommands depotdir / out --path. Expand option tables for init (sanitizers, mas, target-cpu, remote-build, use-https, fork), build (--gen, --no-remote), sync (--3), test, patches (--list-targets, --commit-updates, all), and open (--print).

Add a configuration file reference (schema fields, validation rules, extends inheritance) and an environment variables table covering EVM_, BUILD_TOOLS_SHA, GN_EXTRA_ARGS, ELECTRON_BUILD_TOOLS_ and the other internally-set variables. Point readers at the zsh completion script under tools/zsh/_e.

EVM_*, BUILD_TOOLS_SHA, GN_EXTRA_ARGS, ELECTRON_BUILD_TOOLS_* and the
other internally-set variables. Point readers at the zsh completion
script under tools/zsh/_e.
