Update the docs for installing via Ludwig

You can still use Ludwig:
https://docs.drupalcommerce.org/commerce2/developer-guide/install-update...

It was built for that purpose.

Drupal Commerce Ludwig guide linked above is (severely) outdated. Here is a new guide:

Okay, let's repurpose this issue.

Someone from the Commerce team will be able to make the appropriate changes.

@devad: Would you be able to open a PR with suggested changes?

Re: #5

I am not familiar with pull requests yet.

As far as documentation at https://docs.drupalcommerce.org/commerce2/developer-guide/install-update... is concerned...

I would keep the title and first two paragraphs as they are now:

Alternative installation instructions for Ludwig users

Composer is the recommended way to install and maintain a site. Site administrators using Ludwig need to be careful when combining modules that depend on external libraries, since there are no safeguards against incompatible library versions or overlapping requirements.

These instructions assume you are working with an existing site. See the Drupal.org documentation on Installing Drupal 8 if you do not have an existing site.

And replace the rest of the Ludwig usage tutorial with a simple link to the Ludwig + Commerce documentation:

I added the following:

Up-to-date Ludwig instructions can be found on the following page Drupal Commerce + Ludwig installation guide

Great, thanks @jsacksick.

The Commerce Core project homepage needs an update as well.

Current text:

Drupal 9 / Commerce 2.x

Commerce 2.x should only be installed via Composer. The zip files on this page are provided for informative purposes only. See our installation docs.

Suggested text:

Drupal 9 / Commerce 2.x

Since the module requires an external library, Composer or Ludwig must be used. Note that Composer is recommended whenever possible. See our installation docs.

Sorry, while we don't mind alternatives like Ludwig existing, we don't intend to recommend it. From an official project standpoint, you should only be using Composer, and we can only really support users who are using it.
