Simplify imgmount drive number discussion in README
Because master/slave/cable-select were only used
to coodinate communication between the drives that
ultimately told DOS if there were one or two drives
present, these terms have no meaning in DOS itself.
DOS simply saw one or two drives and labelled them
C: (if one drive present) or C: and D: (if two drives)
Therefore, mentioning this level of details is
unecessary and we can relate drive number to number
of drives directly.
