Rewrite the manual installation section

Browse Source 
There were still some mentions of the old symlink based installation
method there. Since this tends to be a source of issues, it's better to
just remove all mentions of it from the main readme.

### Manual setup
Setting up yabridge through yabridgectl is the recommended installation method
as it makes updating easier and yabridgectl will check for some common mistakes
during the installation process. To manually set up yabridge for VST2 plugins, first
download and extract yabridge's files like in the section above. The rest of
this section assumes that you have extracted the files to `~/.local/share` (such
that `~/.local/share/yabridge/libyabridge-vst2.so` exists), and that you want to
set up yabridge for the VST2 plugin called
`~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Steinberg/VstPlugins/plugin.dll`.
Depending on whether you want to use copy or symlink-based installation method,
you can then set up yabridge for that plugin by creating a copy or symlink of
`libyabridge-vst2.so` next to `plugin.dll` called `plugin.so`. For the example,
you can use either:
```shell
# For the copy-based installation method
cp ~/.local/share/yabridge/libyabridge-vst2.so "$HOME/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Steinberg/VstPlugins/plugin.so"
# For the symlink-based installation method
ln -sf ~/.local/share/yabridge/libyabridge-vst2.so "$HOME/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Steinberg/VstPlugins/plugin.so"
```
as it makes setting up plugins and updating yabridge easier. Yabridgectl will
also check for some common issues during the installation process so you can
get up and running faster. To manually set up yabridge for VST2 plugins, first
download and extract yabridge's files just like in the section above. Yabridge's
files have to be extracted to `~/.local/share`, such that
`~/.local/share/yabridge/libyabridge-vst2.so` exists. If you want to set up
yabridge for a VST2 plugin located at
`~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Steinberg/VstPlugins/plugin.dll`,
then you'll have to copy `~/.local/share/yabridge/libyabridge-vst2.so` to
`~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Steinberg/VstPlugins/plugin.so`. This process has
to be repeated whenever you download a new version of yabridge.
Doing the same thing for VST3 plugins involves creating a [merged VST3
bundle](https://steinbergmedia.github.io/vst3_doc/vstinterfaces/vst3loc.html#mergedbundles)
by hand with the Windows VST3 plugin symlinked in. Doing this without
yabridgectl is not supported since it's a very error prone process.
