README.md: link to external formatting of user manual
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Some people don't like htmlpreview.github.io.  I once or twice saw a
case where it appeared to be affected by load limits.  Since external
sites are making the manual available, and it's unlikely there are too
many changes between the last release and the current manual, just link
to it as an alternative for folks.

External sites also have [alternative formats of the user
manual](https://www.mankier.com/1/git-filter-repo) available, at least
for the most recent release. This also may be beneficial if
htmlpreview.github.io starts hitting load limits.

# Why filter-repo instead of other alternatives?
