Simplify the bootstrapping instructions to remove use of M2_HOME.
General consensus on maven-dev ([Remove M2_HOME setup from download page
instructions](http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/maven-dev/201501.mbox/%3ccapcjjng_suebktv9dw-tpn54wa-fgdm4wupsjnvw01sjxb2...@mail.gmail.com%3E))
was to deprecate M2_HOME from public documentation and eventually remove it
from the source.
As part of doing that, avoid using it in the bootstrapping instructions in
the README and use the equivalent `maven.home` property instead.
