Amend to promote reporting Unity8 issues in the proper issue tracker (#53)

* Update README.md I notice that many are reporting issues with Unity8 in the wrong issue tracker, namely on the Unity8 installer issue tracker, probably because that's where the installation instructions are found. Moving the installation instructions to this readme (and pointing to this readme in the readme found in the installer repository) may reduce this problem moving forward. * Update README.md I notice that many are reporting issues with Unity8 in the wrong issue tracker, namely on the Unity8 installer issue tracker, probably because that's where the installation instructions are found.
