Subject: [PATCH] Update GettingStarted.md

- complete the `Backend > QASM` example, to be a full working example.
- replace qiskit on this example to v `0.40.0` which is easier to install on modern machines.
- this fixes #10

 SpinQit can convert its intermediate representation to OpenQASM codes in the form of string so that any third-party platform which suports OpenQASM can be used to execute codes written in SpinQit. The QASM backend is initialized using a handle function which can run OpenQASM codes. The result format of this backend depends on the actual execution platform. It would be better to convert the third-party results to the result formats of SpinQit in the handle. SpinQit provides a QiskitQasmResult class to process Qiskit results. 
 
-The following example shows how to define a handle for the QASM backend to use Qiskit 0.31.0 to execute a quantum circuit.
