Research direction

Start in the README at the “Single File Installing” section and compare its wording with the linked FreeSimpleGUI.py file at the 5.1.0 commit. Update the section to explain that version 5.1.0 was the last version with that single-file layout, or remove the section. Done means the README no longer incorrectly describes current code as a single file.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The README has a section for "Single File Installing", even though the code is no longer in a single file.

This README should indicate that version 5.1.0 is the last version with FreeSimpleGUI.py -> https://github.com/spyoungtech/FreeSimpleGUI/blob/d8c06c2bbe6d51425d1b0d79557b76f99b933708/FreeSimpleGUI/FreeSimpleGUI.py

Otherwise, this section could be removed altogether
