Readme: Remove ref to old dev env blog post
The old "Discourse as your first rails app" blog post points people in the direction of Vagrant, which is no longer maintained. That blog post now points people in the direction of guides that have been wiki-fied on Meta, which can also be replied to if there are questions. The existing setup guides appear to be relevant still, but the community wikis are probably better for new people to reference. If you ask me, though, there's a great debate here about whether or not setup documentation should live in this repo or on Meta -- but I don't have the answer for that. It's more important to get the effectively dead guide off the front page, since it's Hacktoberfest and I'm sure people want to contribute, but need a clear starting point.
