Improve README for PyMuPDF information

The current README states:
pymupdf is substantially faster than pdfminer.six (and thus also pdfplumber) and can generate and modify PDFs, but the library requires installation of non-Python software (MuPDF). It also does not enable easy access to shape objects (rectangles, lines, etc.), and does not provide table-extraction or visual debugging tools. License: AGPL.
However, thats's been false since version 1.23.0 (Aug 2023), as the find_tables() method has been around since then.
Should update the README to remove this false statement.
