Description

Including build instructions with the repository helps to reduce friction for open source contributors, and anyone just generally wanting to get started with viewer development of any kind. This also helps to maintain a "source of truth" for all Linden viewer builds. These instructions should go in the docs sub directory.

Test Plan

Follow the provided build instructions on a "clean" system with no pre-requisite software installed.
