Current official Ubuntu packages are not up-to-date with scrapy 1.1 and users are having trouble with them (see #2076, #2136)

The docs need to reflect that and not recommend using them.

This page http://doc.scrapy.org/en/latest/topics/ubuntu.html#topics-ubuntu is not relevant these days.

They are not currently updated and fail to install on
Ubuntu 16.04. Also update the instructions to refer to
the earliest supported LTS (Ubuntu 12.04).

fixes #2137 and closes #2076

It should be also fixed on https://scrapy.org/ website.

As determined over at Scrapy, the apt-get method is based on an outdated package and an install won't work (even if instructions are correctly followed) on Ubuntu 16.04 and above. See scrapy/scrapy#2137 for further information.
