Update README to include marshalling capability

Browse source 
Expanded the description and features to cover both marshalling and unmarshalling of JSON fields. This clarifies the package's functionality, making it clear that it handles not only null values during unmarshalling but also during marshalling.

niljson provides a simple and efficient way to handle nullable JSON fields during the (un-)marshalling process.
In JSON, it's common to encounter fields that can be `null`, but handling these fields in Go can be cumbersome,
especially when dealing with primitive types like `int`, `float64`, `bool`. These types can all be either `0` (as value)
or `null`. In Go you can always work with pointers but these, of course, can lead to unhandled nil pointer dereferences.

- **Nullable Types**: Provides a range of nullable types (`NilString`, `NilInt`, `NilFloat`, `NilBool`, etc.) that
are easy to use and integrate into your existing Go structs.
- **Seamless Integration**: These types work just like Go's standard types but add support for `null` values,
enabling cleaner and more maintainable code.
- **JSON Unmarshalling Support**: Automatically handles the unmarshalling of JSON fields, converting `null` JSON
- **JSON Unmarshalling Support**: Automatically handles the (un-)marshalling of JSON fields, converting `null` JSON
values to Go's `nil` or zero values, depending on the context.
- **Minimalistic and Lightweight**: Designed to be lightweight and unobtrusive, so it won't bloat your application
or introduce unnecessary dependencies (only relies on the Go standard library)
