Removing chains.json and adding README description #42

Hi

I was confused by the https://chainlist.org/chains.json file and how chainid.network is related to chainlist.org. I brought the issue up there ethereum-lists/chains#757.

Now I see that the source of truth is https://chainid.network/chains.json as the frontend also does a fetch from there, and there has been a commit to remove the public https://chainlist.org/chains.json file @8dded. However the outdated file is still available at the URL.

Following the discussion under the commit @8dded I'd suggest the following:

Add a description in README that this repo serves as a frontend for the https://github.com/ethereum-lists/chains repository and https://chainid.network/chains.json list. When one clicks on "View source code" on the website, there is no description at all an it is quite confusing.
Add a redirect from https://chainlist.org/chains.json to https://chainid.network/chains.json. Should be easy with the vercel config file.

I can take over this issue and create a PR if you'd like.
