Two changes to the readme suggested by a user

The first time the server is run it will import all configured addresses as watch-only into the Bitcoin node, and then exit. If the wallets contain historical transactions you can use the rescan script (electrum-personal-server-rescan /path/to/config.cfg) to make them appear."

I had issues with the install on Linux with installing with pip. I was able to fix it by restoring config.cfg_sample file. Once i restored the file in the directory, pip3 install --user . worked and after install I was able to go back and change config.cfg_sample to config.cfg.
