Add a README covering installation of the NOS/VE disk images.

This is work-in-progress, but I may not have a chance to add to it for a couple of weeks. Once I get back to it, I need to track down why DtCyber doesn't successfully launch webterm-server on my system.

Add a README covering installation of the NOS/VE disk images.

```
Then on the DtCyber operator console:
```
​shutdown

This should be done if, and only if, the machine was started using the node start.js script. This is because the start.js script overrides the "shutdown" command to shut down NOS gracefully before shutting down DtCyber itself. If DtCyber is started without using the start.js script, then the following commands should be issued from the NOS console before entering the "shutdown" command at the DtCyber operator prompt:

UNLOCK.
CHECKPOINT SYSTEM.
wait for control point 35 to indicate that the checkpoint is complete.
STEP.

Revised to reference the existing shutdown instructions in the NOS README. I also deleted the awkward reference to "node start", since you'd already documented it along with NOS.

The NOS/VE README currently assumes that the user is relying on the automation scripting. Getting into NOS manual shutdown is out of scope, and should be in the NOS README any way.

I changed the node install command to use sudo. I don't know of any situation in which it is not needed.
