This updates the installation and updating section of the README.md files in the various packages to call out the module they are a part of and instruct the consumer to use the standard go tooling instead of the old, and no longer correct, package-based 'go get -u' instructions.

txsort
Package txsort provides stable transaction sorting.
This package implements a standard lexicographical sort order of transaction inputs and outputs. This is useful to standardize transactions for faster multi-party agreement as well as preventing information leaks in a single-party use case. It is a modified form of BIP69 which has been updated to account for differences with Decred-specific transactions.
The sort order for transaction inputs is defined as follows:
- Previous transaction tree in ascending order
- Previous transaction hash (treated as a big-endian uint256) lexicographically in ascending order
- Previous output index in ascending order
The sort order for transaction outputs is defined as follows:
- Amount in ascending order
- Public key script version in ascending order
- Raw public key script bytes lexicographically in ascending order
A comprehensive suite of tests is provided to ensure proper functionality.
Installation and Updating
