Since the Scoop manifest got published to the main bucket (#691), the README can now be updated to reflect the change. (This basically just removes one step.)

Thank you, but we would rather that our users install from our bucket since we ensure via release automation that our bucket is always up-to-date. As far as I know, users experience no downside when installing from our bucket, and the instructions are copy-pasteable anyway.

Those who would like to avoid our bucket can find gh listed in the central repository as well.

@mislav Scoop has a bot that checks for updates (that's what "checkver" in manifest is for), so the main bucket will be behind for at most a few hours. The downside for installing from a 3rd party bucket is making scoop update take longer, as it has to git pull all the added buckets. Thus it's preferable to minimize the amount of added buckets.
