README.md: note current minimum tested Git version
Our README file contains a brief note in its "Example Usage" section stating that Git LFS requires a Git version higher than 1.8.2 on Linux and 1.8.5 on macOS. This statement dates from commit 59a49b0 in PR git-lfs#412 in 2015, and so is relatively out of date. In particular, when we added support for the "git lfs migrate" command in PR git-lfs#2353, the actual minimum supported version of Git was changed from 1.8.x to 1.9.0 (in commit 1d0e834) and then to 2.0.0 (in commit 5aea841). These changes were made to the Travis CI configuration in use at the time, and later migrated to our current GitHub Actions CI workflow in commit c32820806229c3f42364d989f7a8597f73cb107ba of PR git-lfs#3808. This workflow continues to run our Git LFS test suite using Git 2.0.0. We therefore now update our README file to remove the outdated note about Git 1.8.x versions, and add a paragraph to the "Limitations" section which documents the current minimum supported Git version of 2.0.0 but also strongly advises the use of a more recent Git version.
