The AFL_SKIP_BIN_CHECK environment variable has existed since AFL 1.20b (before then AFL_SKIP_CHECKS, since 0.77b).

This change:

Reduces the Getting Started complexity, which is possibly the source of issue #1
Highlights the ability for users to use stock AFL, including prebuilt distributions from package managers
Doesn't remove AFL functionality, should the user need the reminder to instrument their binary for other use cases

Lols. I was fairly positive this entire time that this existed but neither me nor @robert could actually find it.

The README could probably use some love and the tool could probably use updating for afl++ but this is grand, thankyou!
