Documentation improvements

- Document ilovezfs as the official lead maintainer of
 Homebrew/homebrew-core. This is a role he's been doing unofficially
 (and brilliantly) for a while and explicit documentation of power
 structures makes it easier for non-Homebrew-maintainers to understand.
- Document the contents of some of Homebrew's subdirectories for people
  clicking around in the GitHub UI looking to contribute.
- Remove update bug mention from README. Enough time has passed that we
  can remove this disappointment.

# Library
This directory contains all the code run by the official `brew` and `brew cask` commands in `Homebrew` and all formulae (package descriptions) in taps (repositories containing formulae) in `Taps` subdirectories.

Features, usage and installation instructions are [summarised on the homepage](https://brew.sh). Terminology (e.g. the difference between a Cellar, Tap, Cask and so forth) is [explained here](docs/Formula-Cookbook.md#homebrew-terminology).
## Update Bug
If Homebrew was updated on Aug 10-11th 2016 and `brew update` always says `Already up-to-date.` you need to run:
```bash
cd "$(brew --repo)" && git fetch && git reset --hard origin/master && brew update
```
