Remove stale references in readme

E.g. Makefile, LibreSSL, boost 1.67

Also make a few things more concise and consistent in style.

Developers on an OS for which there is no binary package, or who would like
to start hacking on the code, can get started by compiling from source.
Currently there are two build systems: a collection of Makefiles and a
CMake-based build system. Both of them should currently work for most users,
and CMake should be the preferred choice as it will eventually become the only
build system available.
The official docker image for building is `foundationdb/foundationdb-build`. It has all dependencies installed. Use `-DBOOST_ROOT=/opt/boost_1_72_0/` in your cmake command. To build outside the official docker image you'll need at least these dependencies:
1. Install cmake Version 3.13 or higher [CMake](https://cmake.org/)
1. Download version 1.72 of [Boost](https://dl.bintray.com/boostorg/release/1.72.0/source/boost_1_72_0.tar.bz2)
1. Unpack boost (you don't need to compile it)
1. Install [Mono](http://www.mono-project.com/download/stable/)
1. Install [Ninja](https://ninja-build.org/) (optional, but recommended)
If compiling for local development, please set `-DUSE_WERROR=ON` in
cmake. Our CI compiles with `-Werror` on, so this way you'll find out about
compiler warnings that break the build earlier.
## CMake
To build with CMake, generally the following is required (works on Linux and
Mac OS - for Windows see below):
Once you have your dependencies, you can run cmake and then build:

CMake will try to find its dependencies. However, for LibreSSL this can be often
problematic (especially if OpenSSL is installed as well). For that we recommend
passing the argument `-DLibreSSL_ROOT` to cmake. So, for example, if you
LibreSSL is installed under `/usr/local/libressl-2.8.3`, you should call cmake like
this:
```
cmake -GNinja -DLibreSSL_ROOT=/usr/local/libressl-2.8.3/ ../foundationdb
```
FoundationDB will build just fine without LibreSSL, however, the resulting
binaries won't support TLS connections.

If you want to create a package you have to tell cmake what platform it is for.

### MacOS
The build under MacOS will work the same way as on Linux. To get LibreSSL,
boost, and ninja you can use [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/). LibreSSL will not be
installed in `/usr/local` instead it will stay in `/usr/local/Cellar`. So the
cmake command will look something like this:

If you want TLS support to be enabled under Windows you currently have to build
and install LibreSSL yourself as the newer LibreSSL versions are not provided
for download from the LibreSSL homepage. To build LibreSSL:
1. Download and unpack libressl (>= 2.8.2)
2. `cd libressl-2.8.2`
3. `mkdir build`
4. `cd build`
5. `cmake -G "Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64" ..`
6. Open the generated `LibreSSL.sln` in Visual Studio as administrator (this is
necessary for the install)
7. Build the `INSTALL` project in `Release` mode
This will install LibreSSL under `C:\Program Files\LibreSSL`. After that `cmake`
will automatically find it and build with TLS support.
If you installed WIX before running `cmake` you should find the
`FDBInstaller.msi` in your build directory under `packaging/msi`.
