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.

Apache Druid (Incubating)!
|
||||
------
|
||||
|
||||
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.*
