Readme updates for QL-800
This seems to work fine on the QL-800, thanks! I've added a tick against it. I've also slightly updated the help for `brother_ql_create` to make it clear that you have to enable the --red option to print on tape which supports red, otherwise the printer reports an error. (This happens with the P-Touch software too and it's really unclear what you're doing wrong.)
