Subject: [PATCH] Clarify dev instructions in README.rst (#3545)

If one tries to follow step 3 after step 2, which I think is something somewhat reasonable to expect, they end up inside directory `parsl/parsl`, where there's no `setup.py` script.  Instead, the script is in the top-level directory, so if you already entered `parsl`, you don't need to go into `parsl/parsl`.  This adds a comment to clarify this possible point of confusion.

 3. Install::
 
-    $ cd parsl
+    $ cd parsl # only if you didn't enter the top-level directory in step 2 above
     $ python3 setup.py install
