[INFRA] Integrate feedback of the first release (#48)

Documentation for CRAN submission: simplify and remove screenshots
Screenshots increase the source package size (we could ignore the files in
RbuildIgnore) and are not useful: there is enough information provided by
the linked contents.


Source package content fixes
  - DESCRIPTION: title in title case
  - Content: add all md files and the doc directory
  The README.md file generates warnings because of unreachable links (contributing.md
  not in the package)
  Do not package the doc folder: only needed for the README.md file, non standard folder
  These changes will be reviewed when working on the documentation


The GitHub worklow now builds the source package and run checks on it as done during the CRAN
submission to detect errors earlier
