Add instructions on updating for new audience display #22

Having a streamlined and documented way to update frc-livescore for new years will allow it to be more easily used, even if it's not maintained.

I'm interested in adding support for 2020 and 2022 when its released.

Can you share how you obtained clean copies of the score_overlay_xxxx.png images? Did you photoshop images from a live stream or are those images published somewhere?

Thanks!

Good question! @fangeugene did a lot of great work getting this up and running for 2019 (see #21), and I believe he may have had a contact at FIRST who manages the audience display graphics. That said, a screenshot from a 1080p YouTube clip and some work in photoshop should get the trick done as well. The 2017 overlay template, for example, is far from crisp, but was more than enough for the purposes of the SURF algorithm.

The overlay also appears most often in the Game Manual (YELLOW and RED CARDS section).

Ah brilliant, good find @ofekashery!
