README.md: Remove old usage examples, refer to user manual instead

We want people to use pySim-shell and should not mislead them by
having usage examples of old tools in README.md.  Also, all
documentation should be in the manuals, let's try to have bits
and pieces in various places.

Usage Examples

Documentation
-------------
* Program customizable SIMs. Two modes are possible:
The pySim user manual can be built from this very source code by means
of sphinx (with sphinxcontrib-napoleon and sphinx-argparse). See the
Makefile in the 'docs' directory.
- one where you specify every parameter manually:
```
./pySim-prog.py -n 26C3 -c 49 -x 262 -y 42 -i <IMSI> -s <ICCID>
```
A pre-rendered HTML user manual of the current pySim 'git master' is
available from <https://downloads.osmocom.org/docs/latest/pysim/> and
a downloadable PDF version is published at
<https://downloads.osmocom.org/docs/latest/osmopysim-usermanual.pdf>.
- one where they are generated from some minimal set:
```
./pySim-prog.py -n 26C3 -c 49 -x 262 -y 42 -z <random_string_of_choice> -j <card_num>
```
A slightly dated video presentation about pySim-shell can be found at
<https://media.ccc.de/v/osmodevcall-20210409-laforge-pysim-shell>.
With ``<random_string_of_choice>`` and ``<card_num>``, the soft will generate
'predictable' IMSI and ICCID, so make sure you choose them so as not to
conflict with anyone. (for e.g. your name as ``<random_string_of_choice>`` and
0 1 2 ... for ``<card num>``).
You also need to enter some parameters to select the device:
pySim-shell vs. legacy tools
----------------------------
-t TYPE : type of card (``supersim``, ``magicsim``, ``fakemagicsim`` or try ``auto``)
-d DEV : Serial port device (default ``/dev/ttyUSB0``)
-b BAUD : Baudrate (default 9600)
While you will find a lot of online resources still describing the use of
pySim-prog.py and pySim-read.py, those tools are considered legacy by
now and have by far been superseded by the much more capable
pySim-shell. We strongly encourage users to adopt pySim-shell, unless
they have very specific requirements like batch programming of large
quantities of cards, which is about the only remaining use case for the
legacy tools.
* Interact with SIMs from a python interactive shell (e.g. ipython):
```
from pySim.transport.serial import SerialSimLink
from pySim.commands import SimCardCommands
sl = SerialSimLink(device='/dev/ttyUSB0', baudrate=9600)
sc = SimCardCommands(sl)
sl.wait_for_card()
# Print IMSI
print(sc.read_binary(['3f00', '7f20', '6f07']))
# Run A3/A8
print(sc.run_gsm('00112233445566778899aabbccddeeff'))
```
