Update CDN URLs in the README (#2930)

* Update CDN URLs in the README

The new URLs link to the latest within the v2 major release, whereas the 
old URLs would always link to the @latest release. As a result, someone 
using those URLs might end up with a broken website when a major version 
is released and icons are removed.

* Update Unpkg URL to link to the simple-icons page

* Add note regarding @latest

### CDN Usage
Icons can be served from a CDN such as [JSDelivr](https://www.jsdelivr.com/package/npm/simple-icons) or [Unpkg](https://unpkg.com). Simply use the `simple-icons` npm package and specify a version in the URL like the following:
Icons can be served from a CDN such as [JSDelivr](https://www.jsdelivr.com/package/npm/simple-icons) or [Unpkg](https://unpkg.com/browse/simple-icons/). Simply use the `simple-icons` npm package and specify a version in the URL like the following:
```html
<img height="32" width="32" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/simple-icons@latest/icons/[ICON NAME].svg" />
<img height="32" width="32" src="https://unpkg.com/simple-icons@latest/icons/[ICON NAME].svg" />
<img height="32" width="32" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/simple-icons@v2/icons/[ICON NAME].svg" />
<img height="32" width="32" src="https://unpkg.com/simple-icons@v2/icons/[ICON NAME].svg" />
```
Where `[ICON NAME]` is replaced by the icon name, for example:
```html
<img height="32" width="32" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/simple-icons@latest/icons/simpleicons.svg" />
<img height="32" width="32" src="https://unpkg.com/simple-icons@latest/icons/simpleicons.svg" />
<img height="32" width="32" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/simple-icons@v2/icons/simpleicons.svg" />
<img height="32" width="32" src="https://unpkg.com/simple-icons@v2/icons/simpleicons.svg" />
```
These examples use the latest major version. This means you won't receive any updates following the next major release. You can use `@latest` instead to receive updates indefinitely. However, this will result in a `404` error if the icon is removed.
### Node Usage
The icons are also available through our npm package. To install, simply run:
