Rework the wording of Tails Installer

Originally created by @sajolida on #8866 (Redmine)

It’s about the splash screen of Tails Installer (that you get when you do Applications → Tails → Tails Installer):

In 2015 we’ll work on porting Tails Installer to Debian (which means outside of Tails), and that’s why we have two versions of the same screen. One would replace the current one in Tails, and the other one would be for outside of Tails only.

Current proposal:

Inside Tails

Inside Tails
============

Install by cloning
------------------

  - Install Tails on another USB stick by copying the Tails system that you are currently using.
  - The USB stick that you install on is formatted and all data is lost.
  - The encrypted persistent storage of the Tails USB stick that you are currently using is not copied.

Upgrade by cloning
------------------

  - Upgrade another Tails USB stick to the same version of Tails that you are currently using.
  - The encrypted persistent storage of the Tails USB stick that you upgrade is preserved.
  - The encrypted persistent storage of the Tails USB stick that you are currently using is not copied.

Upgrade from ISO
----------------

  - Upgrade another Tails USB stick to the version of an ISO image.
  - The encrypted persistent storage of the Tails USB stick that you upgrade is preserved.
  - The encrypted persistent storage of the Tails USB stick that you are currently using is not copied.

Outside Tails
=============

To run Tails Installer you need an ISO image which can be downloaded from our website:

https://tails.boum.org/download/

Install
-------

  - Install Tails on a new USB stick.
  - The USB stick that you install on is formatted and all data is lost.

Upgrade
-------

  - Upgrade a Tails USB stick to the version of an ISO image.
  - The encrypted persistent storage of the Tails USB stick that you upgrade is preserved.
