Recommended deployment tool changed from NixOps to krops

Over time we have noticed that NixOps is more complex than most nix-bitcoin users need.
Therefore, with this release we updated the installation instructions to replace NixOps with krops.

If you've created a nix-bitcoin installation following the previous version install.md, you can follow the migration guide.
There's also a new example to demonstrate deploying with krops that you can find at ./examples/deploy-krops.sh.

nix-bitcoin nodes that are deployed with NixOps as previously recommended will continue to work, but users should be aware that the packaged NixOps is an unmaintained version with custom patches. Therefore, it is generally advised to switch to an official version of NixOps or to migrate to krops. It should only take 5 minutes. If you have troubles don't hesitate to open a github issue or pay us a visit at #nix-bitcoin on freenode.
