remove docs about binary wheels
we stop supporting them, because there are better alternatives:
- use a distribution package (from your linux distribution), if available
- use a pyinstaller binary provided by us (they include all you need in 1 file and
thus have better compatibility properties and are easier to install than a wheel)
- install from source (pypi or git) if everything else fails
