    README: Add note on Transient 0.7.4 requirement for gptel
    
    * README.org (Installation): Mention explicitly that Transient
    0.7.4 or higher is required.  This is a frequent issue because of
    Emacs' reluctance to update built-in packages (#776).
    
    This instruction should apply to Elpaca/Straight too, but I don't
    know how to ensure that Transient is updated when using these
    package managers.  (A PR is welcome.)
