docs: simplify & update README #778

If you remove some install instructions but keep others, then the ones you keep implicitly become the recommended ones. Do we really recommend Conda as the best way to get fpm? That requires having and using yet another tool. I think it's okay to keep the Conda and Homebrew instructions, but at the very least also keep and recommend the link to the binary release downloads, as that's the easiest way to get fpm without assuming a 3rd party package manager.
Other changes look good!

@milancurcic Thanks for the quick turnaround in this PR. I agree I was actually meant to include them first but I somehow forgot. I think we might need to do some edits on the fpm-docs repo as well. Specifically, I would suggest:
|
- Added multiple links to the FPM webpage, homepage, downloading instructions and Getting started and tutorials - Removed most of the install instructions and redirected to website - Removed bootstrapping instructions - Added fpm logo with hyperlink in README - Fixed link to Manifest in README Fixes Link to documentation in README #776

No, just personal taste to point the user to the next step. I can remove it if you want.
This PR proposes a new simpler README for fpm, which redirects a lot of the reading to the fpm website.
