README adduser command wrong #330

The README seems to have an error on the adduser line and contains many invalid option flags.

The following worked for me under CentOS 7 to create the user:

adduser --system --shell /sbin/nologin --home /var/lib/acme-dns acme-dns

Some more explanation why the change: adduser is mostly distro-dependent, e.g. Debian's adduser differs from CentOS ones. useradd is more "POSIX" like.
