Fixes #2017

doc/xmtp-contracts-image.md was intentionally deleted in xmtp/smart-contracts#116 (containerized local dev environment docs removed), with no replacement page created — confirmed by checking the current doc/ index in smart-contracts.

The issue asked whether this link should be replaced with another page from smart-contracts/doc/, removed, or left until new docs exist. I went with replacing it: pointed to smart-contracts' doc/README.md, which is the current, maintained documentation index and does exist.

I also dropped the specific claim that the target "contains the deterministic addresses where all the contracts are deployed" — I could not confirm that claim holds for any current page in smart-contracts (the closest candidates, doc/deployment.md and doc/proxies.md, describe the deployment procedure and mechanism, not a literal address reference), so restating it here would just recreate an inaccurate doc.

Happy to adjust to a different target page or wording if a maintainer has a better one in mind — this was a judgment call on an intentionally open question.

Note

Fix broken link to smart-contracts docs in doc/deploy.md

Updates a broken link in doc/deploy.md that pointed to a deleted image doc, replacing it with a link to the smart-contracts documentation index.
