Update README file, add directives to open NERDTree as a window automatically when vim starts up on opening a directory. Which can prevent NERDTree from hiding when first file selected as issue #494 pointed out.

I don't like the term "tab window". Tabs and Windows are separate things in vim, and putting them together like this is a bit confusing. I suggest just "window".

Sorry, I meant b:NERDTree._type == "tab" here. But it's really confusing for others.

Martin uses the term "tab tree" in #494. How do you like this sentence?

@ggicci, It looks like this PR is a continuation of #627, which you closed. Did you know you can continue committing to your branch, and the pull request will get those changes as well?

This is very similar to, and better than, another tip in the README. Go ahead and remove this one while you're at it.
