doc/installing: cleanup and fixes

* fix broken and old URLs to anaconda/miniconda
* append conda-forge, do not prepend it (consistent with conda-forge
  instructions and does not blindly prefer packages in conda-forge over
  packages in defaults)
* shorten m-labs repo

Installing Anaconda or Miniconda
--------------------------------
You can either install Anaconda (choose Python 3.5) from https://store.continuum.io/cshop/anaconda/ or install the more minimalistic Miniconda (choose Python 3.5) from http://conda.pydata.org/miniconda.html
You can either install Anaconda from https://www.anaconda.com/download/ or install the more minimalistic Miniconda from https://conda.io/miniconda.html
After installing either Anaconda or Miniconda, open a new terminal (also known as command line, console, or shell and denoted here as lines starting with ``$``) and verify the following command works::

.. note::
On a system with a pre-existing conda installation, it is recommended to update conda to the latest version prior to installing ARTIQ.
First add the conda-forge repository containing ARTIQ dependencies to your conda configuration::
Add the M-Labs ``main`` Anaconda package repository containing stable releases and release candidates::
$ conda config --prepend channels http://conda.anaconda.org/conda-forge/label/main
Then add the M-Labs ``main`` Anaconda package repository containing stable releases and release candidates::
$ conda config --prepend channels http://conda.anaconda.org/m-labs/label/main
$ conda config --prepend channels m-labs
.. note::
To use the development versions of ARTIQ, also add the ``dev`` label (http://conda.anaconda.org/m-labs/label/dev).
Development versions are built for every change and contain more features, but are not as well-tested and are more likely to contain more bugs or inconsistencies than the releases in the ``main`` label.
To use the development versions of ARTIQ, also add the ``dev`` label (m-labs/label/dev).
Development versions are built for every change and contain more features, but are not as well-tested and are more likely to contain more bugs or inconsistencies than the releases in the default ``main`` label.
Add the conda-forge repository containing ARTIQ dependencies to your conda configuration::
$ conda config --add channels conda-forge
Then prepare to create a new conda environment with the ARTIQ package and the matching binaries for your hardware:
choose a suitable name for the environment, for example ``artiq-main`` if you intend to track the main label, ``artiq-3`` for the 3.x release series, or ``artiq-2016-04-01`` if you consider the environment a snapshot of ARTIQ on 2016-04-01.
