    Mention that VC must be enabled
    
    Some people disable VC because it fixes various oddities in Emacs and
    the same features are provided by other packages such as Magit. In
    this case, diff-hl will silently do nothing, which is confusing. This
    PR adds a note to the README clarifying the requirements for using
    diff-hl.
