Install instructions for Ubuntu not accurate

[Pat]

Just an FYI for the setup.py version of install for Ubuntu, it indicates the below command, however this package isn't available in apt. 

sudo apt install python3-cheetah

It needs to be installed via pip3 install Cheetah3

(At least on my brand-new Ubuntu 18.04.4 install)

Groan. There's always a laggard.

FWIW - it 'is' available for 20.04 - darn operating system differences will drive you crazy......

Complete procedure is in https://github.com/vinceskahan/weewx-docker/blob/master/build/setup_ubuntu2004/Dockerfile

That's why I wanted to be specific in my OS version :)
