README: update running etcd section for pre-built etcd install

The current Running etcd section only shows how to run etcd for installation
with master branch. If user has installed a pre-built release following the
instructions on the release page, the ./bin/etcd won't work to bring up the
etcd. The Getting etcd section covers both, pre-built and master branch,
with recommendation of pre-built usage so the Running etcd section is updated
accordingly.
