docs+README: update docs to no longer imply that only btcd is support

Browse Source 
In this commit, we modify the docs in order to clarify that both btcd

confusion as the old set of docs stated that we "require" my btcd fork,
rather than clarifying that *if* you want to use btcd, then you must use
my fork.
