The `README.md` links the Gitter channel for discussions, but the
official docs and even the Gitter channel itself recommend using the
official Discord Server for such discussions.
This PR simply changes the Gitter link and provides Discord invite link.
The legacy dot-org URL was displaying a message about the repository
having migrated to the dot-com service, which now covers open-source
projects as well.

* Change chainId in genesis block to 8888 from 0
Change chainId in genesis block to 8888 from 0 per Moriteru in https://ethereum.stackexchange.com/a/28082/40230.
* Replace 8888 with “<arbitrary positive integer>”
Per PR review, replace Moriteru’s arbitrary positive integer 8888 with “<arbitrary positive integer>” in chainId field.
* Remove --fast flag and clarify default
`--fast` is no longer a flag it's `--syncmode "fast"` and that is the default
* Remove --cache flag
--cache=512 is no longer required as of 1.8 as the default has been increased
* README: Minor cache amount fix, mention Rinkeby
We have decided to bump the requirement to Go 1.7 because it enables
subtests and allows dropping backwards-compatibility code. This is in
line with Go's support policy. Go 1.6 and earlier no longer receive
security updates.
