Docs don't say if influxdb-client-python is a backward compatible upgrade to influxdb-python

[bslade]

Steps to reproduce:
List the minimal actions needed to reproduce the behavior.

1. View the web page https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb-client-python/blob/master/README.rst
2. That page says, "Use this client library with InfluxDB 2.x and InfluxDB 1.8+. For connecting to InfluxDB 1.7 or earlier instances, use the influxdb-python client library."
3. That might imply that influxdb-client-python is the upgraded version of influxdb-python and therefore backward compatible. Eg. is the "write_points" call still supported?

Expected behavior:
The README.rst should say whether influxdb-client-python is a backward compatible upgrade to influxdb-python or a new interface requiring a rewrite of applications written for influxdb-python

Actual behavior:
The https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb-client-python/blob/master/README.rst doesn't say whether influxdb-client-python is a backward compatible upgrade to influxdb-python or a new interface requiring a rewrite of applications written for influxdb-python

Specifications:

• Client Version: N/A
• InfluxDB Version: N/A
• Platform: N/A

@bslade, thanks for using our client.

What do you think about:

"Use this client library with InfluxDB 2.x and InfluxDB 1.8+. For connecting to InfluxDB 1.7 or earlier instances, use the influxdb-python client library (influxdb-client-python is not compatible with influxdb-python)."

?

Re: influxdb-client-python is not compatible with influxdb-python Yes, I think that makes it clear. Thanks Ben Slade
