experimental: README updates for -experimental install suffix
- experimental/README.md: install examples now use the -experimental suffix on the skill name + the --experimental flag (matching the install-path behaviour landed in databricks/cli#5243). Adds a short note explaining why the in-repo dir name and the install dir name differ. - experimental/README.md: drop databricks-model-serving from the collision example (it was removed from this PR earlier). - experimental/README.md: update the (also available as stable skill) note for databricks-jobs to point at the open TODO #1a. - Root README: clarify the suffixed install name in the by-name install example.
