docs: Update README.md with detailed documentation
This commit significantly enhances the `README.md` file, providing comprehensive documentation for the ArmaDragonflyClient.

Key changes:

*   **Detailed Function Categories:** Categorized functions for better organization (Core, Basic Data Operations, Hash Operations, List Operations).
*   **Usage Examples:** Added clear and concise usage examples for basic operations, hash operations (context and ID-specific), and list operations.
*   **Function Documentation Structure:** Outlined the structure for individual function documentation.
*   **License Information:** Updated the license information.

# dragonfly_db_fnc_addTask
## Description
Adds a task to the database operation queue. This function is used to schedule database operations that can be processed sequentially, providing a way to manage multiple database requests in an organized manner.
## Syntax
```sqf
[_taskType, _key, _keyField, _index, _value, _function, _call, _netId] call dragonfly_db_fnc_addTask
```
## Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Description | Default |
|-------------|----------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------|---------|
| `_taskType` | String | Type of operation to perform (e.g., "hgetall") | "" |
| `_key` | String | Name of the stored key | "" |
| `_keyField` | String | Field name for hash operations | "" |
| `_index` | Number | Index for list operations | -1 |
| `_value` | Array, String, Number, or Boolean| Value to store (for set operations) | [] |
| `_function` | String | Name of function to call with the result | "" |
| `_call` | Boolean | Whether to call the function directly (true) or spawn (false) | false |
| `_netId` | String | NetID of the target to receive the result | "" |
## Return Value
None. The task is added to the queue and processed asynchronously.
## Examples
### Add a hash table retrieval task:
```sqf
["hgetall", "", "", -1, [], "dragonfly_db_fnc_test"] call dragonfly_db_fnc_addTask;
```
### Add a player-specific task that returns data to a specific client:
```sqf
["hgetallid", getPlayerUID player, "", -1, [], "dragonfly_db_fnc_test", false, netId player] remoteExecCall ["dragonfly_db_fnc_addTask", 2, false];
```
### Add a list operation task:
```sqf
["listadd", "playerMessages", "", -1, ["New message content"], ""] call dragonfly_db_fnc_addTask;
```
## Notes
- Tasks are processed in the order they are added to the queue
- If the queue is not currently being processed, this function will start the processing
- The task type determines which database operation will be performed
- This function is particularly useful for scheduling multiple related operations
- All operations performed through the task queue are logged for debugging
## Related Functions
- `dragonfly_db_fnc_processQueue`: Processes the pending tasks in the queue
- `dragonfly_db_fnc_handler`: Handles the results of completed database operations
- `dragonfly_db_fnc_scheduler`: Manages callback responses from the database
