Clean the Cruft

[cyanlemons]

The status-react repository has a lot of cruft. It takes roughly two pages worth of scrolling to even reach the beginning of the README. As part of a renewed effort to make our GitHub account & repos more palatable to newcomers and developers alike, we should make sure we don't leave unnecessary files laying around in our repo, particularly in the root folder.

After a quick observation, I've identified the following:

• The VERSION file is out of date with the contents being 1.8.0. However, everything seems to be working just fine in the v1.9 release – which begs the question: do we even need this file? Can we remove it?
• There are six different .env files in the root folder of the repository. Can we move this to a shared folder? Or perhaps move five of them to a shared folder while keeping the primary .env in the root folder?
• The following files haven't been changed in 2-3 years: supervisord.conf, .dockerignore, .buckconfig, .babelrc, .mailmap, .nycrc, .watchmanconfig, app.json. Do we still need all of these? If not, let's remove the ones we can.
• Should we even be storing a .vscode directory in our repo? This seems like a personal preference thing that varies from developer to developer. IMO, this type of folder should just go in the .gitignore and then anyone can add all preferences they like without committing it upstream.

The cruft is one problem among many:

• Terribly outdated README
• Broken testing/coverage badges in the README
• Outdated documentation (after a quick look around I found some references to macOS catalina workarounds)
• Outdated GitHub profile picture/description
• Swarms are dead, so we should unpin that repository from the status-im account

Ideally, we should get around to resolving all of these to give a better impression to our users & SNT holders. Cleaning the cruft felt like a good place to start.

Partially addressed, I will move the rest to a discussion
