[Copilot]

Overview

This PR adds a comprehensive README.md file to the Philosophers project, providing complete documentation for users and developers.

What's included

The README provides:

• Project Overview: Clear explanation of what the project does and its purpose
• The Dining Philosophers Problem: Educational content about the classic computer science problem, including its history and the challenges it represents
• Installation Guide: Complete prerequisites and build instructions using the existing Makefile
• Usage Documentation: Detailed explanation of all command-line arguments with a clear reference table
• Practical Examples: Multiple working examples demonstrating different scenarios:

  # Basic simulation with 4 philosophers
  ./philo 4 410 200 200
  
  # Simulation with eating limit
  ./philo 5 800 200 200 7
  
  # Scenario where a philosopher dies
  ./philo 4 310 200 100

• How It Works: Explanation of the simulation output format and possible philosopher states
• Implementation Details: Technical documentation covering threading, synchronization, deadlock prevention, and key features
• Project Structure: Overview of all source files and their purposes

Additional improvements

• Added .gitignore to exclude build artifacts (*.o files and executables) from version control
• Cleaned up previously committed build artifacts from the repository

All examples in the README have been tested and verified to work correctly with the current implementation.
