The 'don't want to contribute new evals' wording confused users into thinking pip install can't run custom evals. Reword to distinguish running pre-built evals (pip) from writing your own (git clone + pip install -e). Closes openai#1586.

Fixes #1586.
The README said pip install is for those who
don't want to contribute new evals, which a couple of users read as "pip can't run my own evals." Reword it to make the real distinction clear: pip install to run the pre-built evals, git clone + pip install -e to write your own. One-line docs change, README renders fine.
