README: Remove more obsolete info
Most of the tools referenced in "Running Tracker" don't exist any more.
We shouldn't need to document how to set inotify limits as distros
should be setting inotify limits high enough for Tracker to work out of
the box.
The man pages referred in the "Further help" section are nice, but
ideally they'd be linked from the main documentation at
https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Tracker (see
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/tracker/issues/107).

-## Running Tracker
-
-### Usage
-
-Tracker normally starts itself when users log in. You can indexing by running:
-
- $prefix/libexec/tracker-miner-fs
-
-You can configure how this works using:
-
- $prefix/bin/tracker-preferences
-
-You can monitor data miners using:
-
- $prefix/bin/tracker-status-icon
-
-You can do simple searching using an applet:
-
- $prefix/libexec/tracker-search-bar
-
-You can do more extensive searching using:
-
- $prefix/bin/tracker-search-tool
-
-### Setting Inotify Watch Limit
-
-When watching large numbers of folders, its possible to exceed
-the default number of inotify watches. In order to get real time
-updates when this value is exceeded it is necessary to increase
-the number of allowed watches. This can be done as follows:
-
- 1. Add this line to /etc/sysctl.conf:
- "fs.inotify.max_user_watches = (number of folders to be
- watched; default used to be 8192 and now is 524288)"
-
- 2. Reboot the system OR (on a Debian-like system) run
- "sudo /etc/init.d/procps restart"
-
-## Further Help
-
-### Man pages
-
-Every config file and every binary has a man page. If you start with
-tracker-store, you should be able to find out about most other
-commands on the SEE ALSO section.
-
-### Utilities
-
-There are a range of tracker utilities that help you query for data.
