Title says it all. Document git submodule installation and build/install process for the library.

Note: It's unnecessary to install/use SWIG since the bindings should be regenerated any time the git submodule is updated.

@Gadgetoid, if I install via pip (pip install rpi_ws281x), do I need to build the submodule with scons?

@davidbradway nope, you don't need to build anything, or even touch this repository. "pip install" should grab the appropriate .whl file for your Python version - currently I'm shipping 2.7, 3.4 and 3.5 - and that contains everything you need pre-compiled and ready to go.

Build instructions are basically just for developers.

Since it’s necessary to use sudo to use the library, is it also necessary to use sudo pip install rpi_ws281x when installing?
