Closes #121: Clarify the location of the pandoc templates directory.

It is not beneficial to list the location for every OS, so I added a sentence to run `pandoc --version`. I also dropped the XP location and display the full folder path without `$XDG_DATA_HOME` or `~`.

2. Download the latest version of the Eisvogel template from [the release page](https://github.com/Wandmalfarbe/pandoc-latex-template/releases/latest).
3. Extract the downloaded ZIP archive and open the folder.
4. Move the template `eisvogel.tex` to your pandoc templates folder and rename the file to `eisvogel.latex`. The location of the templates folder depends on your operating system:
- Unix, Linux, macOS: `$XDG_DATA_HOME/pandoc/templates` or `~/.pandoc/templates/`
- Windows XP: `C:\Documents And Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\pandoc\templates`
- Windows Vista or later: `C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\pandoc\templates`
If there are no folders called `templates` or `pandoc` you need to create them and put the template `eisvogel.latex` inside.
- Unix, Linux, macOS: `/Users/USERNAME/.local/share/pandoc/templates/` or `/Users/USERNAME/.pandoc/templates/`
- Windows Vista or later: `C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\pandoc\templates\`
If there are no folders called `templates` or `pandoc` you need to create them and put the template `eisvogel.latex` inside. You can find the default user data directory on your system by looking at the output of `pandoc --version`.
