docs: move complex install instructions out of README

As a user I didn't realise there was a simple way without git cloning when I first saw the project

Make the easy way easier to find.

## Installing/running from Source (for developers)

You can clone the repo and install the app from source. To do so, you will need to ensure a few prerequisites:
1. Install build dependencies
2. Clone this repository
3. Build/install Python 3.12 and Tcl/Tk
4. Set up a virtual environment

### Install build dependencies

e.g. for debian-based systems:
```
sudo apt-get install git build-essential gdb lcov pkg-config \
libbz2-dev libffi-dev libgdbm-dev libgdbm-compat-dev liblzma-dev \
libncurses5-dev libreadline6-dev libsqlite3-dev libssl-dev \
lzma lzma-dev python3-tk tk-dev uuid-dev zlib1g-dev
```
*See Python's [Build dependencies](https://devguide.python.org/getting-started/setup-building/index.html#build-dependencies) section for further info.*

### Clone this repository
```
git clone 'https://github.com/FaithLife-Community/LogosLinuxInstaller.git'
```

### Install Python 3.12 and Tcl/Tk
Your system might already include Python 3.12 built with Tcl/Tk. This will verify
the installation:
```
$ python3 --version
Python 3.12.5
$ python3 -m tkinter # should open a basic Tk window
```
If your Python version is < 3.12, then you might want to install 3.12 and tcl/tk
using your system's package manager or compile it from source using the
following guide or the script provided in `scripts/ensure-python.sh`. This is
because the app is built using 3.12 and might have errors if run with other
versions.

**Install & build python 3.12 using the script:**
```
./LogosLinuxInstaller/scripts/ensure-python.sh
```

**Install & build python 3.12 manually:**
```
$ ver=$(wget -qO- https://www.python.org/ftp/python/ | grep -oE '3\.12\.[0-9]+' | sort -u | tail -n1)
$ wget "https://www.python.org/ftp/python/${ver}/Python-${ver}.tar.xz"
$ tar xf Python-${ver}.tar.xz
$ cd Python-${ver}
Python-3.12$ ./configure --prefix=/opt --enable-shared
Python-3.12$ make
Python-3.12$ sudo make install
Python-3.12$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/lib /opt/bin/python3.12 --version
Python 3.12.5
$ cd ~
```
Both methods install python into `/opt` to avoid interfering with system python installations.

### Enter the repository folder
```
$ cd LogosLinuxInstaller
LogosLinuxInstaller$
```

### Set up and use a virtual environment
Use the following guide or the provided script at `scripts/ensure-venv.sh` to set
up a virtual environment for running and/or building locally.

**Using the script:**
```
./scripts/ensure-venv.sh
```

**Manual setup:**

```
LogosLinuxInstaller$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/lib /opt/bin/python3.12 -m venv env # create a virtual env folder called "env" using python3.12's path
LogosLinuxInstaller$ echo "LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/lib" >> env/bin/activate # tell python where to find libs
LogosLinuxInstaller$ echo "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH" >> env/bin/activate
LogosLinuxInstaller$ source env/bin/activate # activate the env
(env) LogosLinuxInstaller$ python --version # verify python version
Python 3.12.5
(env) LogosLinuxInstaller$ python -m tkinter # verify that tkinter test window opens
(env) LogosLinuxInstaller$ pip install -r requirements.txt # install python packages
(env) LogosLinuxInstaller$ python -m ou_dedetai.main --help # run the script
```

### Building using docker

```bash
$ git clone 'https://github.com/FaithLife-Community/LogosLinuxInstaller.git'
$ cd LogosLinuxInstaller
# docker build -t logosinstaller .
# docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/usr/src/app logosinstaller
```

The built binary will now be in `./dist/oudedetai`.

## Install guide (possibly outdated)

NOTE: You can run **Ou Dedetai** using the Steam Proton Experimental binary, which often has the latest and greatest updates to make Logos run even smoother. The script should be able to find the binary automatically, unless your Steam install is located outside of your HOME directory.

If you want to install your distro's dependencies outside of the script, please see the [System Dependencies wiki page](https://github.com/FaithLife-Community/LogosLinuxInstaller/wiki/System-Dependencies).
