Docs: Update Top-Level README

Alex Buccheri requested to merge documentation/update_build_instructions into main

Update the top-level README:

  • Add a section on cloning Octopus from Gitlab
  • Acknowledge different tarballs for cmake and autotools
  • Make the autotools information more compact
  • Give a minimal MPI configuration command using cmake, which also highlights the need to specify CMAKE_DISABLE_FIND_PACKAGE_METIS=On to use the internal copy of metis
  • Make it explicit that tarballs do not contain git information, including submodules
  • Update the list of external dependencies

This should close issue #1157 (closed)
