Title: Clarifying edits to README

Hello! Thanks for maintaining this useful repository.

I hit some issues when i first tried to use it, having never before used jquery-datatables.

My problem was that I had repeatedly misunderstood the instructions in the README. I assumed that the steps under the Twitter Bootstrap section were more or less independent of the installation instructions above. I tried resolving this on a few different days, over the course of a week or so, and every time did not read the instructions properly. Namely, I wasn't including the base js file when I should have been.

Hopefully my edits will clarify this for other people who skim without reading carefully!

While I was editing the README, I took the opportunity to clean up a few other items as well. Details below.

Thanks again!

Commit message:

This is an attempt to make more clear the distinction between a general
installation and a installation for an app with Twitter Bootstrap support.

Also:
- Code blocks are standardized each to their own line for easy copy/paste
- That helps fix the instruction numbering issues
- Some minor rewordings for clarity
- Initialization options set apart a bit to indicate only one is needed
- Modify the link to the plugin files to make it more useful

Hope this helps!
