Remove kubectl installation instructions from release .tar.gz 

Kubernetes release .tar.gz no longer provides binaries. So the existing
instructions are invalid (#2815).

User has to get the .tar.gz file and then run a script, only to download them
from storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release. That's already what's documented
in the "install via curl" section.

Therefore deleting "Extract kubectl from Release .tar.gz" section.

## Extract kubectl from Release .tar.gz or Compiled Source
If you downloaded a pre-compiled [release](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/releases), kubectl will be under `platforms/<os>/<arch>` from the tar bundle.
If you compiled Kubernetes from source, kubectl should be either under `_output/local/bin/<os>/<arch>` or `_output/dockerized/bin/<os>/<arch>`.
Copy or move kubectl into a directory already in your PATH (e.g. `/usr/local/bin`). For example:
```shell
# OS X
sudo cp platforms/darwin/amd64/kubectl /usr/local/bin/kubectl
# Linux
sudo cp platforms/linux/amd64/kubectl /usr/local/bin/kubectl
```
Next make it executable with the following command:
```shell
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/kubectl
```
The kubectl binary doesn't have to be installed to be executable, but the rest of the walkthrough will assume that it's in your PATH.
If you prefer not to copy kubectl, you need to ensure it is in your path:
```shell
# OS X
export PATH=<path/to/kubernetes-directory>/platforms/darwin/amd64:$PATH
# Linux
export PATH=<path/to/kubernetes-directory>/platforms/linux/amd64:$PATH
```
