remove docs about binary wheels

Browse source 
we stop supporting them, because there are better alternatives:
- use a distribution package (from your linux distribution), if available
- use a pyinstaller binary provided by us (they include all you need in 1 file and
  thus have better compatibility properties and are easier to install than a wheel)
- install from source (pypi or git) if everything else fails

Creating binary wheels
----------------------
With virtual env activated::
pip install -U wheel
python setup.py bdist_wheel
ls -l dist/*.whl
Note: Binary wheels are rather specific for the platform they get built on.
E.g. a wheel built for Ubuntu 14.04 64bit likely will not work on Centos7 64bit.

- **wheel** - easy and fast, needs a platform specific borgbackup binary wheel,
which matches your platform [OS and CPU]).
- **pypi** - installing a source package from pypi needs more installation steps
and will compile stuff - try this if there is no binary wheel that works for
you.

- **git** - for developers and power users who want to have the latest code or
use revision control (each release is tagged).
