Update Ubuntu/Debian install instructions
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Unfortunately the Erlang Solutions package repository for Ubuntu and Debian packages has not been updated for recent Ubuntu releases or the latest LTS release. Simplify the instructions to use `apt-get` by default, while still providing an option for those on older releases to use the Erlang Solutions packages.

Fixes elixir-lang#1575.
