doc: remove bitcoin PPA from install instructions, use snap

the PPA is no longer maintained, the new hotness is the snapd install.
except that snapd does some weirdness with the binary names, calling it
bitcoin-core.daemon and bitcoin-core.cli. To get around this, you can
create a symbolic link to the snap binaries, which is what we outline
here.

sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y bitcoind
sudo apt-get install snapd
sudo snap install bitcoin-core
# Snap does some weird things with binary names; you'll
# want to add a link to them so everything works as expected
sudo ln -s /snap/bitcoin-core/current/bin/bitcoin{d,-cli} /usr/local/bin/
