Elijah Newren 2f26e4bce5 INSTALL.md: wording clarification on what repology.org tracks
Homebrew and scoop are both package managers and package repositories.
Fedora 32 is not a package manager, but does map to a package
repository.  Clarify wording that the list from repology.org is a list
of package repositories, not package managers.

Elijah Newren 34f761734b INSTALL.md: simplify manual installation instructions
Make use of `git --man-path` and `git --html-path` to simplify the
manual installation instructions a bit.  Also, there appears to be a
site.getsitepackages() call in python to give similar information about
where git_filter_repo.py can be installed.

Elijah Newren 423b7d2c89 INSTALL: streamline a bit and guide folks to package managers
Now that several package managers are packaging filter-repo (Debian and
Ubuntu seem to be the primary holdouts, but maybe treating Linux as
"covered" will pressure them to package it too), guide people to use
package managers for easy installation and streamline the wording.
Still keep the old instructions around, just move them later.
