Update README.md (#130)

* Update README.md

- Minor grammatical fixes
- Converted headings to "sentence case" where only the first letter is capitalized; this is the preferred style for Nest documentation
- I left all "Thread" instances as "Thread" and "OpenThread" as "OpenThread". I would like to make sure there are not instances where "Thread" is intended to refer to "OpenThread".
