Subject: [PATCH] Revise installation commands in README.md

Updated installation instructions for signal-cli to use the latest version dynamically.

1] Uncompressed signal-cli-"${VERSION}".tar.gz directly produces executable named signal-cli and NOT named signal-cli-"${VERSION}" , thus was getting error in installation.
This change should rectify the issue.

2] Also finding latest release version is simplified
