Not explicit enough install instructions

Hi,

The README install instructions says:

To get started put the version of simplesamlphp you want to test in a folder named simplesamlphp

I wasted a couple of hours doing echo v1.18.6 > version and a lot of variations on the simplesamlphp folder, until I realized that this meant to put the source code of SimpleSAMLphp on that folder.

Doing a git clone https://github.com/simplesamlphp/docker-simplesamlphp.git and then checking out the desired version did the trick.

I think it would be easier for noobs like me to put this steps explicitly on the README (git clone ..., etc). (or better, to make this docker to checkout a specific version via a environment var)

Nice idea! why not create a pull request with all the detailed instructions in the README? I am sure the author will be glad and approve it.

Ok, what do you mean by to put the source code of SimpleSAMLphp on that folder. ? :)

download simplesamlphp source code from official site and extract on that folder

I did the following:

git clone https://github.com/simplesamlphp/docker-simplesamlphp.git
cd ./docker-simplesamlphp
git submodule add https://github.com/simplesamlphp/simplesamlphp.git

From this point you can select the version tag like this:

cd ./simplesamlphp
git checkout v1.19.5
