docs/INSTALL.md: update Go installation options for Linux
In this commit, we modify the Linux installation instructions to use the
pre-built archives rather than install from the ppa. We do this as
typically the ppa lags behind the latest releases, and also by
downloading it in this new manner, we're able to verify the sha256 sum
of the installed Go release.

docs: revamp INSTALL.md
In this commit, we aim to revamp the `INSTALL.md` file in order to make
it easier to parse, and more explicit. We've added a table of contents
to allow users to skip down to relevant sections and obtain a snapshot
of the contents of the document. Additionally, we've now modified the
headings to express a more clear delineation of the various sections.

832bd8101c docs: update INSTALL.md
- Provides clarity to the sample `lnd.conf` to reduce friction on a first-time mainnet set up of lnd (avoiding the `loadConfig: debug-htlc mode cannot be used on bitcoin mainnet` error)

- Removes `debughtlc` from the sample `lnd.conf` since it is not something most people would use anymore
- Adds link to `sample-lnd.conf` with proper line-wrapping

Update INSTALL.md
Every time I try to update lnd by following these instructions it fails. Most recently like this:

    $ make
     Compiling dependencies.
    dep ensure -v
    # Bringing vendor into sync
    grouped write of manifest, lock and vendor: failed to export github.com/lightninglabs/neutrino: fatal: failed to unpack tree object 838f7ba74d217d188efc223604bd280b4e3f0238
    : exit status 128
    Makefile:116: recipe for target 'dep' failed
    make: *** [dep] Error 1

I found that if I `make clean` before running `make` then it doesn't fail.

docs/INSTALL: remove noencryptwallet from install docs
We will be slowly phasing this out, though abruptly
discontinuing support would be a more extensive change.
For now, we will ensure that this feature is not
recommended to users setting up a new wallet.

docs+README: update docs to no longer imply that only btcd is support
In this commit, we modify the docs in order to clarify that both btcd
and bitcoind are supported as chain backends. Many users expressed
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.

47329c9267 docs: inconsistent ZMQ port numbers in examples
The port numbers used in the ZMQ examples are inconsistent between:

- The initial explanation of ZMQ
```
They must be combined in the same ZMQ socket
  address (e.g. `--zmqpubrawblock=tcp://127.0.0.1:28332` and
  `--zmqpubrawtx=tcp://127.0.0.1:28332`).
```

- The sample bitcoin.conf
```
zmqpubrawblock=tcp://127.0.0.1:18501
zmqpubrawtx=tcp://127.0.0.1:18501
```

- The lnd command-line example:
```
lnd --bitcoin.active --bitcoin.testnet --debuglevel=debug --bitcoin.node=bitcoind --bitcoind.rpcuser=REPLACEME --bitcoind.rpcpass=REPLACEME --bitcoind.zmqpath=tcp://127.0.0.1:28332 --externalip=X.X.X.X
```

I changed the sample bitcoin.conf port numbers to 28332 so they match the rest of the examples.

b4e280eb15 docs: update install.md to same content as on lighting-dev-site
It seems that at some point the installation docs of the
https://github.com/lightninglabs/lightning-dev-site/ was identical to
this file (without page navigation + next steps).

Seems that this commit did not get ported to this repo:
1ad7d3189d

In this PR the info for macaroons and noencryptwallet is copied over
from the above mentioned commit.
