docs: fix bad advice in the README
Do not recommend running the 'upload' target by default in order to build the docs. That will fail with permission errors when trying to push to a repo most people don't have commit access to, and if they did have commit access it would be an even worse problem -- unpredictably overwriting the main website without any guarantee it was generated from the latest version of the docs! Plus, it does not actually work. The first thing it does is spawn an error message that required files do not exist, because the actual docs were not, in fact, built. So they cannot be uploaded either. The docs will build by default if you do not specify a non-default target. Fixes #9873
