António Fernandes 6bb582ca18 README: Clarify the status of the "nautilus" name

The proper name of the application is "Files".

Don't use the project name when referring to the app. Also prefer the 
lowercase "nautilus", matching the project name with the program name.

nautilus

This is the project of the Files app, a file browser for GNOME, internally known by its historical name nautilus.

Supported version

Only latest version of Files as provided upstream is supported. Try out the Flatpak nightly installation before filling issues to ensure the installation is reproducible and doesn't have downstream changes on it. In case you cannot reproduce in the nightly installation, don't hesitate to file an issue in your distribution. This is to ensure the issue is well triaged and reaches the proper people.

Hacking on nautilus

To build the development version of the Files app and hack on the code see the general guide for building GNOME apps with Flatpak and GNOME Builder.

Runtime dependencies

Bubblewrap installed. Used for security reasons.
Tracker (including tracker-miners) properly set up and with all features enabled. Used for fast search and metadata extraction, starred files and batch renaming.

Discourse

For more informal discussion we use GNOME Discourse in the Applications category with the nautilus tag. Feel free to open a topic there.
