0354b70c68 Improve README clarity and remove duplicate test directory
Major improvements:
- Added "What is MCP?" explanation for newcomers
- Created prominent "Prerequisites" section emphasizing KiCAD setup
- Listed all Python requirements inline with descriptions
- Fixed GitHub URL from placeholder to actual repo
- Removed duplicate test/ directory (keeping tests/ for pytest)
- Made KiCAD installation steps more visible and clear
- Added verification command for KiCAD Python module
- Updated all config example paths to match actual repo name

This makes it much clearer for new users how to install and configure
the MCP server, with special emphasis on the critical KiCAD requirement.

fd2f1b9c92 Remove venv folder from repository
The venv/ folder should not be tracked in version control.
It's now properly excluded via .gitignore.
