Title: Document "install" and "update"

This might be obvious to people who have been using Composer for awhile, but for newbies it can be quite difficult. Update isn't even mentioned on the packagist homepage, only install. And install won't do anything if you make changes to composer.json... it doesn't fail, it just won't change anything. Can leave us scratching our heads wondering why nothing happens.
