Plugin Directory: Update the readme example to not mention putting screenshots in the plugin folder.

This also updates the default metadata for the readme.txt, and combines the two different readme's by consistently removing the Installation and Arbitrary sections since they're rarely if ever properly used.

See #5175.

    66 the /assets directory or the directory that contains the stable readme.txt (tags or trunk). Screenshots in the /assets
    67 directory take precedence. For example, `/assets/screenshot-1.png` would win over `/tags/4.3/screenshot-1.png`

    90 You may provide arbitrary sections, in the same format as the ones above.  This may be of use for extremely complicated
    91 plugins where more information needs to be conveyed that doesn't fit into the categories of "description" or
    92 "installation."  Arbitrary sections will be shown below the built-in sections outlined above.
