docs(README): remove the build from source instructions

docs/developers.md already has these instructions. And 80% of the time
someone looking at this project is interested in getting started not
hacking directly.

## Install
Download a [release tarball of helm and tiller for your platform](https://github.com/kubernetes/helm/releases). Unpack the `helm` and `tiller` binaries and add them to your PATH and you are good to go! OS X/[Cask](https://caskroom.github.io/) users can `brew cask install helm`.
### Install from source
To install Helm from source, follow this process:
Make sure you have the prerequisites:
- Go 1.6
- A running Kubernetes cluster
- `kubectl` properly configured to talk to your cluster
- [Glide](https://glide.sh/) 0.10 or greater with both git and mercurial installed.
1. [Properly set your $GOPATH](https://golang.org/doc/code.html)
2. Clone (or otherwise download) this repository into $GOPATH/src/k8s.io/helm
3. Run `make bootstrap build`
You will now have two binaries built:
- `bin/helm` is the client
- `bin/tiller` is the server
From here, you can run `bin/helm` and use it to install a recent snapshot of
Tiller. Helm will use your `kubectl` config to learn about your cluster.
For development on Tiller, you can locally run Tiller, or you build a Docker
image (`make docker-build`) and then deploy it (`helm init -i IMAGE_NAME`).
The [documentation](docs) folder contains more information about the
architecture and usage of Helm/Tiller.
