Stop recommending RailsInstaller in favor of RubyInstaller

RailsInstaller is no longer maintained and its latest supported Ruby
version is 2.3 which Rails no longer supports.

In contrast, RubyInstaller supports Ruby 2.7, 2.6, 2.5, 2.4, 2.3, and 2.2 which
are the only Ruby versions necessary for Rails 6.x and 5.x at this point.
