docs: remove focus on Druid in README.md (#9184)
The text in the README seemed overly Druid-centric at this time. While
originally (3-4 years ago) Superset was heavily focussed on druid, it's
just not accurate anymore. Druid is just one of the databases that we
support and docs should reflect that.

-On top of having the ability to query your relational databases,
-Superset ships with deep integration with Druid (a real time distributed
-column-store). When querying Druid,
-Superset can query humongous amounts of data on top of real time dataset.
-Note that Superset does not require Druid in any way to function, it's simply
-another database backend that it can query.

-Here's a description of Druid from the http://druid.io website:
-
-*Druid is an open-source analytics data store designed for
-business intelligence (OLAP) queries on event data. Druid provides low
-latency (real-time) data ingestion, flexible data exploration,
-and fast data aggregation. Existing Druid deployments have scaled to
-trillions of events and petabytes of data. Druid is best used to
-power analytic dashboards and applications.*
