Document fn executable direct download and setup #973

Many developers installing Fn don't have root access and can't write to /usr/local/bin. On some platforms (e.g., DigitalOcean droplets) /usr/local is in a read-only file system and cannot be written to.

The Fn install script should be runnable by a non-root user and support the specification of the installation folder.

The install script lays out the steps. :)

I'll rename this enhancement request.

This all sounds good. I'll should be able to work on it in next week.
