update the Workshop 2021 blog post with a link to the materials repo

@mnmelo @jbarnoud @IAlibay @fiona-naughton @lilyminium @micaela-matta @richardjgowers are you happy with these updated links to make it easier to find the workshop materials?

[lilyminium]

Yes -- thank you!

Thanks @lilyminium , it’s the weekend though, so I’ll wait a few more days for anyone else to chime in.

So two things:

1. I was really hoping we'd release the materials in a separate blog post that also included information about the 2.0.0 beta. Personally I think that would make things a lot less complicated in terms of telling folks about how it works/installs/etc....
2. As it stands the materials can't be completed by someone that didn't attend the original workshop because the parallelism section is missing key files. We really need to get Parallelism workshop data WorkshopPrace2021#36 done before we can tell folks that it's there for them look at.

This is a little bit misleading. I'd instead just say this a link to the install instructions for the whole workshop and mention as a note that it requires the beta version of 2.0.0?

[orbeckst]

fair enough, would be happy to change

(At the moment these are the cleanest written instructions for 2.0.0b that we have and I send them to anyone who wants to try the beta because I know that you get a working installation, including OpenMM, RDKit, HDF5 etc.)

My thinking was that now that the workshop is over, the blog post is a kind of an archive and if anyone were interested in it then they should get a link to the materials. I didn't think that this would preclude a proper blog post about the materials.

However, I'll just close this PR. We can always insert a link to the materials and the upcoming blog post later.
