Berry a240f99db5 Default to base e2b SDK in READMEs (#1232)
## Summary
- Updated root README, js-sdk README, and python-sdk README to show base
`e2b` SDK install and usage as the default
- Code-interpreter is now shown as an optional step for when
`runCode()`/`run_code()` is actually needed
- SDK links in descriptions now point to base `e2b` packages on npm/PyPI

## Why
The base `e2b` package covers commands, files, git, networking, and
sandbox lifecycle. Users who don't need code execution shouldn't be
directed to install `@e2b/code-interpreter` / `e2b-code-interpreter` as
their first step.

## Test plan
- [ ] Verify README renders correctly on GitHub
- [ ] Confirm base SDK examples use correct import syntax
- [ ] Confirm code-interpreter section still shows correct usage for
`runCode()`

What is E2B?

E2B is an open-source infrastructure that allows you to run AI-generated code in secure isolated sandboxes in the cloud. To start and control sandboxes, use our JavaScript SDK or Python SDK.

Run your first Sandbox

1. Install SDK

npm i e2b

2. Get your E2B API key

  1. Sign up to E2B here.
  2. Get your API key here.
  3. Set environment variable with your API key
E2B_API_KEY=e2b_***

3. Start a sandbox and run commands

import Sandbox from 'e2b'

const sandbox = await Sandbox.create()
const result = await sandbox.commands.run('echo "Hello from E2B!"')
console.log(result.stdout) // Hello from E2B!

4. Code execution with Code Interpreter

If you need runCode(), install the Code Interpreter SDK:

npm i @e2b/code-interpreter
import { Sandbox } from '@e2b/code-interpreter'

const sandbox = await Sandbox.create()
const execution = await sandbox.runCode('x = 1; x += 1; x')
console.log(execution.text)  // outputs 2

5. Check docs
