Cosmic Tasks naming convention & installing cosmic through sudo apt install cosmic-* #295

It's nice that the community maintained app(https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-tasks/) is packaged in Pop repository But I've some concerns.

Cosmic Epoch repo & in users in various reddit posts suggests installing cosmic in Pop OS using sudo apt install cosmic-* image

The problem that arises with that & this app having cosmic name is that the users would install this application unknowingly even when it is not officially developed by System76. This also causes friction in the ux & affects user expectations of Cosmic as this application does not match the design language of the official applications aside from sidebar & menus.

Maybe the better option would be to change installation command from sudo apt install cosmic-* to sudo apt install cosmic-session & recommending cosmic-greeter when it is more stable.

README has been updated to suggest cosmic-session
