Add GitHub shields/badges to the README

As discussed here, it'd be nice to use some badges in the repository's README.

@PyvesB gave some really good suggestions on which we could use:

"Yes, there are quite a few Eclipse Marketplace badges available, I recommend the downloads ones as the information is not directly available through the marketplace website. Favorites is a nice to have as well.

GitHub commit activity is indeed another good one...

Another idea: you could add a badge indicating the Prettier version used by the project for example (search for "package.json dependency version" in the Shields search bar)."

I've never added a badge to a repo before so I might need a bit of help from @PyvesB ;)

And of course you can make any decorative badge for fun:

WOAH that’s so cool !!! 🤩 Would definitely be nice to use ;)

I’ll also probably need your advice on where to place the badges on the README by the way :)

Below the project title and horizontal line is common and would look good.

You could also add a badge showing the latest release version, the license or the build results. ^^

Ah, sorry. That‘s all already in the link you‘ve added in the issue description. 😊
