uhubctl is in homebrew core now - remove obsolete files, update readme

* remove custom homebrew tap - uhubctl is included in homebrew core now.
* remove bitbake recipe - it does not seem to be used for years now,
  and it should not have been committed in first place.
* add `installing` paragraph to readme. since most relevant OS include uhubctl
  in standard package managers now, most people don't want to compile it,
  but instead know how to install it quickly.
* update short links to not use bit.ly as it became very spammy now.
* update few expired links to point to archive.org cache.
* add `all` target to Makefile (FreeBSD ports want `all` target to always exist).

+* Redhat/EPEL/Fedora/CentOS: `sudo yum install uhubctl`
