fix: Clarify that strands-agents-tools is community-driven package (#207)
We've settled on community-driven as the wording for the package:
> Strands Agents Tools is a community-driven project that provides a powerful set of tools for your agents to use. It bridges the gap between large language models and practical applications by offering ready-to-use tools for file operations, system execution, API interactions, mathematical operations, and more.
So update all references from "example" to "community-driven"
