add basic summary of benchmark to beginning of readme

[qpwo]

it took me a long time to figure out the basics of how this benchmark works, so I think a short description at the beginning of the readme would be helpful.

feel free to edit however you want or close this and do your version on main or whatever

Hi Luke, thanks for sending these suggestions in. The MLCommons CLA check on this PR is failing. Could you sign it if you haven't yet? If you have already signed it, could you email [email protected] and ask for help with the CLA check that is failing on this PR.

@fsschneider this PR is stale but I think it is good feedback to maybe include a brief summary describing the methodology of algoperf in the README. wdyt?

[fsschneider]

I agree, this is a good idea. We should do some modifications to the text (i.e. remove the mention of the held-out workloads, to reflect the current set of rules).

I don't want to "steal" Luke's work by creating my own PR using his text as a starting point, but without a signed CLA, we cannot merge. @qpwo could you sign the CLA so that we can properly attribute this contribution to you?

@priyakasimbeg Otherwise, we probably have to close this PR and create or own, right?

your CLA bot is broken just close and rewrite i dont mind
