Update README with Mastodon and tell at least something about supported systems.

Mention tested systems as well (which is narrower than supported systems).
And merge documentation and support, since users will usually be after both.

## Supported systems
We try to **support** all major *NIX systems: all Linux distros but also NetBSD, OpenBSD and macOS,
provided the OS version was released within the past ~5 years.
We use a private BuildBot instance to test each commit. The **tested** systems are (others are
likely to work too):
* Linux: Debian (10, 11, 12, 13), Ubuntu (18.04, 20.04, 22.04, 24.04, 26.04)
* FreeBSD: 15
* Windows: Visual Studio 2019
UnrealIRCd is architecture-agnostic. Most of the BuildBot workers run on x64 but we
also have some on x86 and arm64 to ensure these work as well.
