README: Don't recommend using as a standalone script
zipapp only has a single entry point, so only the `meson` command will
work. `mesontest`, `mesonconf`, `mesonintrospect` won't, which is
terrible, really.
Ideally we should have a single entry point for all these instead, but
until that happens, we should not recommend zipapps.
