Remove “reference” from README #10675
Description
As @richvdh put it in this matrix.org FAQ issue, it is unfair to call synapse a reference implementation. Yet that’s what the README states.
Synapse is a reference "homeserver" implementation of Matrix from the core
development team at matrix.org, written in Python/Twisted.
In the FAQ, we went with
Synapse is a Matrix "homeserver" implementation developed by the matrix.org core team, written in Python 3/Twisted.

Given how similar it is to the current paragraph in the README, I believe this paragraph was at first copy-pasted from one place to the other. I suggest we copy-paste back from the FAQ to the README and can even provide a PR if that solution is approved.
FWIW in another place in the FAQ we also have:
Synapse is the most well-distributed homeserver
