The docs currently state that buildbot-worker 2.8.5 is used. However, looking at the buildbot release notes <http://docs.buildbot.net/current/relnotes/index.html>, this release doesn't seem to exist (it's not on PyPI either). The document also links to http://trac.buildbot.net/ as a source to retrieve an old version and install it manually, but this is dead.

Instead, drop that advice and suggest `pip3 install buildbot-worker==2.8.4`, as done by the Dockerfiles in llvm-zorg/buildbot/google/docker/*.
