Fixes #48, fixes #25, supersedes #44.

The main issue with our documentation is that it was advising to install a version of Node that is not compatible with The Lounge!

Turns out, when you remove all the distro-specific instructions for Node on the current version of https://thelounge.github.io/docs/getting_started/install.html, you are left with npm install -g thelounge only 馃槀.

These instructions will clearly need improvements to make good use of what's done in https://github.com/thelounge/docker-lounge, https://github.com/thelounge/deb-lounge and https://github.com/thelounge/arch-lounge, but until then, it fixes the current issue.

Yeah, we'll want to add the debs and stuff, but we can leave that until they are being built etc, so this is good for now. This makes it correct, which is important, and it's much simpler.

We should probably also link to the three repos you mentioned on the actual projects README as well

One thing at a time :) These have further implications that I prefer to deal with later. For now it's fixing instructions that are simply wrong.
