docs: building and readme outdated

is it possible that v3.0.3 has some issues?!
i downloaded the prebuilded binarys from the release, unzip it and tried to initialize the config directorys with certmgr genconfig
but this is not possible. in v1.6.5 it is possible.

root@sslca:/opt# ./certmgr-linux-amd64-v3.0.3 genconfig 
FATA[0000] Config File "certmgr" Not Found in "[/etc/certmgr]"

edit:

i have playing around and compare some things with version 1.6.5. in version 1.6.5 in root.go:

certmgr/cli/root.go

Lines 115 to 117 in e872f72

	if err := viper.ReadInConfig(); err == nil {
	log.Info("certmgr: loading from config file ", viper.ConfigFileUsed())
	}

and on version 3.0.3 and master:

certmgr/certmgr/cmd/root.go

Lines 171 to 173 in 4af0d77

	if err := viper.ReadInConfig(); err != nil {
	log.Fatal(err)
	}

if i change it to:

if err := viper.ReadInConfig(); err == nil { 
 	log.Fatal(err) 
 } 

the fatal error is gone and i can execute certmgr version, genconfig, help without having the configdir and configfile create before.

i can build binary with:

GOFLAGS=-mod=vendor go build -o /opt/certmgr -gcflags="-trimpath=/home/user/gopath" -ldflags="-X github.com/cloudflare/certmgr/certmgr/cmd.currentVersion=$(git describe --tags)" ./certmgr/

if i changed directory to repo's root dir.

so i am not sure if its right. my progamming knowledge isnt much great :-)
because of that i dont know if i should create a PR.

edit:

okay it is not so much easy :-) after creating configdir and configfile, no command can execute successful

root@sslca:/opt# ./certmgr help
FATA[0000] <nil>                                        
root@sslca:/opt# ./certmgr version
FATA[0000] <nil>                                        
root@sslca:/opt# ./certmgr check
FATA[0000] <nil>                                        
root@sslca:/opt# ./certmgr ensure
FATA[0000] <nil>                                        
root@sslca:/opt# ./certmgr
FATA[0000] <nil>

that is not the solution alone :-)
