Commit Message

Add details on the C API to the project README (#16192)

* Add details on the C API to the project README

Arguably the largest development in Qiskit since the 2.0.0 release was
the introduction of the C API. This changed how Qiskit is consumable
from solely via Python to any environment that can use a C shared
library. This expanded the scope and potential user base of Qiskit
quite substantially. However, a clear oversight was that the C API is
not at all mentioned in the README. This corrects the oversight and
adds an explanation that the two public APIs are for Python and C and
also installation instructions for the standalone C API.

* Update README.md

Co-authored-by: Jake Lishman <jake@binhbar.com>

* Simplify wording about C API usage modes

* Add sentence to examples section saying explicitly that we're using python

* Only use the minor version

* Remove locale
