Update and improve documentation

`find-domains` has been added to the list of covered endpoints. The
README usage section has been extended to show some basic operations
with records, and point to documentation and tests for learning usage,
and to the Njalla Terraform provider for actual code usage examples.

### Usage
Most of the methods are pretty self-explanatory if you read the documentation
and read the function signature. Some of the most "complex" operations, like
creating/updating records can be figured out from the tests. But here's some
examples:

also be seen at the [Njalla Terraform provider].
