Add conda package name to README and doc #129

Hi,

I think it could be nice to mention the name of the conda-forge package for this project (python-graphviz) in the REAMDE and in the doc. There are "graphviz", "pygraphviz", "python-graphviz" so it's a little confusing for newbies. :)

Cheers!

Thanks. Sounds good.

That would be conda-forge/python-graphviz-feedstock, right (https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/python-graphviz)?

There is also ContinuumIO/anaconda-recipe/.../python-graphviz (https://anaconda.org/anaconda/python-graphviz), but the conda-forge package above seems to be more popular.

The downstream conda-forge distribution used to include a patch that was needed to make it work with corresponding distribution of Graphviz, and issues with that they sometimes where reported here (although it's not maintained by me), which is why I was a bit cautious to link to that. However, that was recently removed, so it should be fine to link this (and possibly other) downstream distributions in the installation documentation.
