📄 Description

I'm suggesting some improvements to the installation instructions, as discussed in https://github.com/asciinema/discussions/issues/143 — see this comment for full rationale.

Basically we should never tell users to pip install with sudo, and also it would be helpful to recommend using pipx for a more reliable installation if the user has it.

Please note: I think the web site should also be updated accordingly:
https://asciinema.org/docs/installation
