Remove the recommendation for preferring VST3

At least for performance reasons, since with the changes in yabridge
3.2.0 they VST2 plugins perform as good or better depending on the
plugin groups settings. Using plugin groups is still less preferable
than using the VST3 version of course.

- If you have the option, the VST3 version of a plugin usually performs better
than the VST2 version. This is because with VST2 a typical audio processing
cycle requires _at least_ two function calls plus another function call for
every parameter change and MIDI event. With VST3 all of that gets wrapped up
in a single function call. That significantly reduces the amount of
back-and-forth communication needed, and thus the potential overhead of
bridging. VST3 plugins also allow the host to do some optimizations for plugins
that are not actively processing sound, which potentially reduces the overall
DSP load even further in a large project where there may be many tracks that
are not actively being used during most of the project.
- [Plugin groups](#plugin-groups) can also greatly improve performance when
using many instances of the same VST2 plugin. _VST3 plugins have similar
functionality built in by design_. Some plugins, like the BBC Spitfire
