#1156: Tiger geocoder README (and unix loader suggestions)

 Attached is a slightly edited version of the README, with any major new
 text in CAPS.

 Besides stylistic things, I broke paragraphs by 2 newlines and re-wrapped
 the text to be 80 character or less lines (except for some code).  Now it
 "looks right" when you open in it emacs, and it didn't before.

 I also added instructions on outputting the script to a file from psql
 (basically "\a \t \o foo.sh" -- but look in the text for details)

 Also, I added text that recommended that the generated script be edited
 with "set -e -u" at the top to make it debug easier (this is basically
 like "use strict" in Perl -- otherwise the script keeps running even if
 wget can't find a server, for example).  This change should be folded into
 the SQL code, by someone who knows how that works.
