Issue 5870: add reference to GNU documentation in INSTALL. 

We are not going to duplicate the whole autotools documentation. Let's
rather just state we follow the GNU build standards, hence refer to
relevant documentation with a link.

More autotools commands
=======================
GIMP uses the autotools build system which follows the GNU coding
standards. In particular all usual standard targets are obviously
supported (e.g. `make uninstall` for uninstalling) as well as common
variables and options, cross-compilation host and target, etc.
