Updated readme to include steps to set up permissions for bluepy-helper #3

With the current installation instructions, one must run the BLE scripts as root or use sudo to avoid permissions issues. This can be somewhat annoying, especially when the scripts do not get installed in the root user's PATH.

This PR updates the readme with information on how to grant bluepy-helper permissions so it is not required to run these scripts as root.
