docs: reorganize ToC into thematic groups and update contributing guide

Group the Table of Contents entries under bold section headers (AI & ML,
Web & API, Data & Science, etc.) so the README is easier to navigate at
a glance. Update CONTRIBUTING.md to reflect that new sections should be
placed under the appropriate thematic group instead of in a flat list.
