Update README.md #153

I have updated the guide to make it simpler and easier to understand, I came to the conclusion that it is better to convert routers to "signed" firmware before installing OpenWrt and in this way avoid problems (because now only routers with signed firmware are sold) and I have removed the information on how to make a full backup because it is useless and can cause problems when a clueless person uses the installer with the router in recovery mode without first reverting to stock firmware, and the truth is that a minimal backup is more than enough and this problem will never occur.

First look at the new readme to understand what I mean:

Example of what I am talking about "signed" firmware:

You have also tested the method of converting an "unsigned" firmware to a "signed" firmware and then install OpenWrt without problems:

If there is any problem you can tell me or you can correct it.

Thank you for everything.
