feat: large "present" feature refactoring (#15)

* fix(cli): previous presentation starts last slide

This changes the previous behavior that was such that going to previous presentation (scene) would start it from zero.

* fix(README): remove non-working svgs

Seems like GitHub does not support that

* wip: onto a cleaner parser, and more robust presentation

* fix(README): remove non-working svgs

Seems like GitHub does not support that

* wip: onto a cleaner parser, and more robust presentation

* wip: some progress

* fix: this is kinda working now

* fix: repeated reversed slide

* fix: import __version__ without importing package

* fix: typing list -> List

* chore(README): update features
