Moving all subtasks into the description so that they are tracked in a single place (@gonuke )

From our initial discussion (@nsryan2 ):

  • Remove mentions of VM support (people can build their own VM and then install cyclus inside it)
  • Remove mentions of cyclus-build-deps conda install mentions (there’s a flag you can use to install only dependencies from a conda package).
  • Update installation minimum packaging
