Simplified installation instructions

Issue #16 resolved
Anders Logg (Chalmers) created an issue

Add simplified installation instructions (as easy and non-intimidating as possible) to main download page and point to readthedocs page for details.

Make docker more visible as perhaps the recommended way of installing FEniCS.

    I've created a preliminary docker installation slide for fenics-course that needs to be updated for the final "fenicsproject foo" syntax.

    Collecting my ideas for fenicsproject script here so they don't get lost on slack:

    Mapping $(pwd)/src:/fencis/home/build/src for dev-env. (see the script attached on slack for suggested solution).

    Add a oneshot 'run' command

    fenicsproject run image
    

    which doesn't preserve the image between runs. Doesn't need name. (see the script attached on slack for suggested solution).

    Let "/bin/bash -l" be the default command to run, but allow overriding with another commandline argument, we can allow both e.g.:

    fenicsproject run stable
    fenicsproject run stable "python myscript.py"
    

    I think Jack described a way to do this on readthedocs.

    Mostly fixed but couldn't figure out how to get multiple word commands (like "ls -l") to work.
