See #751

Thanks to molz on IRC

This install guide assumes you'll be installing on testnet, which is no bad thing. However, mainnet is now an option, so I've added a note to that effect. I haven't changed the instructions from testnet, because that's trivial to do for most people (and probably shouldn't be attempted by people who can't make that change themselves!).

The guide doesn't "assume" testnet. It simply walks users through starting with testnet, as if this is their first intro to lnd, they should start on testnet. It's easy to see via lnd -h that we support many other modes.

Sorry, I used the word 'assumes' for brevity in the commit header. As you say, "It's easy to see via lnd -h that we support many other modes.", yes, it's easy for an expert to know that. As a noob I had no idea. Also, from the document alone, I had no idea that anything other than testnet was supported. I asked on IRC and got better info.

For the noobs, some info on this page is warranted I think. My comment is certainly not the best info, but something should be added I think.
