Update README with 5.0 examples and clearer instructions

* Remove tag from `go get` instructions
* Generalize migration wording
* Update main code snippet to 5.0 API
* Document server / driver version matrix
Do not mark 5.0 as EOL yet since it's not publicly out.
* Emphasize required Go version
* Favour any over verbose interface{}
* Reformat tables
