Updated installation instructions for Flite and added recommendations for using lex_lookup instead of t2p.

Currently, users following the README on a shared server will encounter Permission denied errors at the sudo make install step. Additionally, even with a successful Flite installation, Epitran often fails to find lex_lookup because it isn't part of the default build target. These updates make the setup process much more robust for academic and data science environments.
