Follow-up to #7, which was merged before these commits landed.

The README was still the btcd README. This rewrites it for lbcd:

  • Describes lbcd as an LBRY node (removes the Bitcoin Core consensus claims, Conformal blog link, btcwallet and Paymetheus).
  • Removes the IRC section.
  • Releases, issues, wallet and SDK link to LBRYFoundation repos; install steps use git clone instead of the btcsuite GOPATH path.
  • Drops the GoDoc badge (404; the module path is still github.com/btcsuite/btcd).
  • Binary and config names (btcd, sample-btcd.conf) are left as-is because that's what this tree still builds.

- Describe lbcd as an LBRY node, not a Bitcoin one; drop the Bitcoin Core
  consensus claims, the Conformal blog link and btcwallet/Paymetheus.
- Remove the IRC section.
- Point releases and issues at LBRYFoundation/lbcd; replace the GOPATH
  install steps with git clone + go install.
