README: Update pylibfdt install instructions 

Now that pip is supported for installs, update the install instructions to
use it. Using pip over setup.py is generally recommended and simpler.

Also, drop 'SETUP_PREFIX' as it doesn't exist anywhere.

To install the library via the normal setup.py method, use: The library can be installed with pip from a local source tree:


./pylibfdt/setup.py install [--prefix=/path/to/install_dir] pip install . [--user|--prefix=/path/to/install_dir]


If --prefix is not provided, the default prefix is used, typically '/usr' Or directly from a remote git repo:
or '/usr/local'. See Python's distutils documentation for details. You can
also install via the Makefile if you like, but the above is more common. pip install git+git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/dtc/dtc.git@main

The install depends on libfdt shared library being installed on the host system
first. Generally, using --user or --prefix is not necessary and pip will use the
default location for the Python installation which varies if the user is root or
not.

You can also install everything via make if you like, but pip is recommended.


To install both libfdt and pylibfdt you can use: To install both libfdt and pylibfdt you can use:


make install [SETUP_PREFIX=/path/to/install_dir] \ make install [PREFIX=/path/to/install_dir]
[PREFIX=/path/to/install_dir]
