961e242aaf Added missing system requiremnt and pip upgrade before install
When installing on CentOS7 I wans't able to follow README instructions to
install due to errors. I was missing libsodium in order to compile
python dependencies.

Default version of Python pip is really old and therefore setuptools
upgrade ended with error as well. In order to be able to continue I
needed to upgrade pip as well.

8b5dbee47e Alter phrasing to clarify where info is stored.
A user on #matrix:matrix.org was confused by the phrasing of the first
sentence in the paragraph and couldn't tell whether it was saying that
the homeserver stored the data or the clients did. This change splits it
into two sentences to make the subject of each sentence clear.
