Add README install for Yarn 2+ using 'yarn dlx'

Open Administrator requested to merge github/fork/joelparkerhenderson/main into main

Created by: joelparkerhenderson

This commit brings the README up to date with yarn latest.

See https://yarnpkg.com/

Yarn 3 is the latest stable version of yarn, such as installed by running this command:

$ yarn set version latest

Yarn 2 introduced the new command 'yarn dlx' which downloads and executes a package in a temporary environment. This is the preferred way to work with Yarn 2 and Yarn 3, as explained on the Yarn website page about 'yarn dlx'.

See https://yarnpkg.com/cli/dlx

Yarn 1 is helpful to still have in the instructions because some developers still use it for historical reasons, such as needing to manage a third-party package that has not been updated to work with Yarn 2 or Yarn 3. However, the Yarn 1 instructions do not work correctly with Yarn latest.
