README: Use shallow clone of gdal #36

This reduces the download size from 1.6 GB to 144 MB

I think you may have compared your compiled version of gdal with the pure source code. My gdal installation (source + compiled + installed) reports:

$ du -hs gdal/
1,8G    gdal/

While the pure source is much smaller:

$ du -hs gdal_deep/
316M    gdal_deep/

$ du -hs gdal_shallow/
144M    gdal_shallow/

Nevertheless, I won't say no to free disk space, though the overall improvement is not huge. :wink:

Feel free to click "merge" then. :)

I thought I'd wait for the branch remove_gdal to be finished which will close #19 and thus make this change obsolete. :) This is currently in progress.

Ah, ok, no problem. Feel free to close this PR.
