docs(README): move history to docs/history.md

The history is helpful for people who have never heard of helm but I
don't think it is super relevant for most users.

The [documentation](docs) folder contains more information about the
architecture and usage of Helm/Tiller.
## The History of the Project
Kubernetes Helm is the merged result of [Helm
Classic](https://github.com/helm/helm) and the Kubernetes port of GCS Deployment
Manager. The project was jointly started by Google and Deis, though it
is now part of the CNCF.
Differences from Helm Classic:
- Helm now has both a client (`helm`) and a server (`tiller`). The
server runs inside of Kubernetes, and manages your resources.
- Helm's chart format has changed for the better:
- Dependencies are immutable and stored inside of a chart's `charts/`
directory.
- Charts are strongly versioned using [SemVer 2](http://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html)
- Charts can be loaded from directories or from chart archive files
- Helm supports Go templates without requiring you to run `generate`
or `template` commands.
- Helm makes it easy to configure your releases -- and share the
configuration with the rest of your team.
- Helm chart repositories now use plain HTTP instead of Git/GitHub.
There is no longer any GitHub dependency.
- A chart server is a simple HTTP server
- Charts are referenced by version
- The `helm serve` command will run a local chart server, though you
can easily use object storage (S3, GCS) or a regular web server.
- And you can still load charts from a local directory.
- The Helm workspace is gone. You can now work anywhere on your
filesystem that you want to work.
