Improve Installation Documentation

[VincentToups]

I'm eager to use Malabar mode and to escape the tyranny of smart IDEs with dumb editors.

However, all one can tell from the current Readme is that Malabar-mode is in flux - its very difficult to determine exactly what needs to happen to get a running setup.

Two issues in particular stand out:

1. The installation section begins "It is currently in a beta stage. Once it has some time to mature, it will be put back into MELPA. Until then, the installation is manual:" but step 4 says "install malabar mode from melpa"
2. I gather from the existence of malabar-mode-jar repo and other comments that there is a java/groovy side component which needs to be installed, but this isn't covered in the 2.0 installation instructions.

I can see from other people's posts that at least some folks are working with Malabar mode right now. I would be nice to improve the instructions so others could quickly reach parity and contribute to the project.

I will try over the next day or two. As a quick hint, use the develop branch.

I also need more detailed document.
Especially, I still don't figure out how to create a project file for malabar-mode.
