[Geocoding] Nominatim master branch

[Sarah Hoffmann]

Hi Brooks,

the installation instructions in the github repo are meant
for master only. Installation instructions for the release
can be found at http://nominatim.org/release-docs/latest/Installation
This really should be mentioned in the README. I will fix
that as soon as I find a minute. (Thinking of it, the release
tarball might also contain the wrong docs. I will look into
that, too.)

As for the state of master: usually that is what is running on
nominatim.osm.org and as such it is always in a usuable state.
Still, it is the version where development happens and it is
unavoidable that new bugs sneak into that version. So for a
truely stable installation, releases are still the recommended
way to go.

Kind regards

Sarah
