README: discuss installation of example captures

The sigrok-dumps repository differs from other components in that it's
neither autotoolized nor uses cmake. Which results in the necessity to
specify non-obvious commands to install the captures without actually
building them.

Introduce an "Installing" README section. Provide example commands for
'make install' invocations.
