Title: Replace composer.phar with instructions to download it

This pull request removes `composer.phar` and adds instructions for downloading the latest version from Composer's website. It also updates `.gitignore` with `composer.phar` and some of the files it creates.

The version of `composer.phar` in master is several months old, and fails with the error in composer/composer#562. The solution in that issue is to run `composer.phar self-update`.

Since Composer uses a CI model and is updated several times a day, it seems infeasible to keep the downstream version up-to-date, and upstream doesn't seem to guarantee compatibility between versions. Instead, I updated the instructions in `README.md` with the steps to install a fresh copy of `composer.phar` that's guaranteed to be up-to-date.
