README.md: Remove old usage examples, refer to user manual instead

We want people to use pySim-shell and should not mislead them by
having usage examples of old tools in README.md.  Also, all
documentation should be in the manuals, let's try to have bits
and pieces in various places.

-Usage Examples
---------------
-
- * Program customizable SIMs. Two modes are possible:
-
-  - one where you specify every parameter manually:
-```
-./pySim-prog.py -n 26C3 -c 49 -x 262 -y 42 -i <IMSI> -s <ICCID>
-```
-
-  - one where they are generated from some minimal set:
-```
-./pySim-prog.py -n 26C3 -c 49 -x 262 -y 42 -z <random_string_of_choice> -j <card_num>
-```
-
-With ``<random_string_of_choice>`` and ``<card_num>``, the soft will generate
-'predictable' IMSI and ICCID, so make sure you choose them so as not to
-conflict with anyone. (for e.g. your name as ``<random_string_of_choice>`` and
-0 1 2 ... for ``<card num>``).
+Documentation
+-------------
 
-You also need to enter some parameters to select the device:
+The pySim user manual can be built from this very source code by means
+of sphinx (with sphinxcontrib-napoleon and sphinx-argparse).  See the
+Makefile in the 'docs' directory.
 
- -t TYPE : type of card (``supersim``, ``magicsim``, ``fakemagicsim`` or try ``auto``)  
- -d DEV  : Serial port device (default ``/dev/ttyUSB0``)  
- -b BAUD : Baudrate (default 9600)  
+A pre-rendered HTML user manual of the current pySim 'git master' is
+available from <https://downloads.osmocom.org/docs/latest/pysim/> and
+a downloadable PDF version is published at
+<https://downloads.osmocom.org/docs/latest/osmopysim-usermanual.pdf>.
 
- * Interact with SIMs from a python interactive shell (e.g. ipython):
+A slightly dated video presentation about pySim-shell can be found at
+<https://media.ccc.de/v/osmodevcall-20210409-laforge-pysim-shell>.
 
-```
-from pySim.transport.serial import SerialSimLink
-from pySim.commands import SimCardCommands
-
-sl = SerialSimLink(device='/dev/ttyUSB0', baudrate=9600)
-sc = SimCardCommands(sl)
 
-sl.wait_for_card()
+pySim-shell vs. legacy tools
+----------------------------
 
-	# Print IMSI
-print(sc.read_binary(['3f00', '7f20', '6f07']))
+While you will find a lot of online resources still describing the use of
+pySim-prog.py and pySim-read.py, those tools are considered legacy by
+now and have by far been superseded by the much more capable
+pySim-shell.  We strongly encourage users to adopt pySim-shell, unless
+they have very specific requirements like batch programming of large
+quantities of cards, which is about the only remaining use case for the
+legacy tools.
 
-	# Run A3/A8
-print(sc.run_gsm('00112233445566778899aabbccddeeff'))
