docs: Update README with supported languages for EPUB (#530)

Browse Source 
## Summary

- Update README with the list of supported languages for EPUB files.
- Update USER_GUIDE with an extended list of supported and unsupported
languages.

## Additional Context

For weeks, I thought this firmware only supported English, because I
remember you saying that full language support would only be possible
after implementing proper font rendering. I also remember mentioning a
separate Korean fork, Vietnamese issues and so on.

All of this made it clear that this system doesn't support my languages.
I was surprised when I saw a Reddit post with a photo of a book in my
native language. Only then I did learn that such languages ​​are
supported. Therefore, mentioning the supported languages ​​would help
future buyers and new users.
