Streamline and maybe move installation instructions #16

The wizard's landing page asks to pip install in-toto from GitHub. It should probably suggest to do so in a virtualenv to keep it nicely isolated from the rest of the probably-fragile local Python install.

To clarify, IMHO most projects now default to including virtualenv in their installation instructions, and let people that don't want to use it figure it out.

More installation clarification is needed, e.g. about supported Python version - #14 (comment), supported operating systems and system requirements.

There was the suggestion to postpone the installation instruction until the user actually needs in-toto, so as to not discourage the user with such a hurdle in the beginning.

I think that is a good idea, but should at least mention in the very beginning that the wizard will require the user to install in-toto, so that it does not come as a surprise.
