Add checksum clarification in README

Browse source 
Currently, if you download the gosec binary using the commands
suggested in the README and you decide to check the checksum
of the binary, you just downloaded then your checksum check will fail.
As a result, the user can think that your binary is corrupted.

The reason for that failure is that the checksums are for the
tar.gz files provided in the release notes.
This should be documented to avoid future unclarities.
