CONTRIBUTING: Include note about build system tools

Browse Source

that apt-get build-dep will bring in everything that's needed to
build libvirt from a git clone; Fedora and RHEL, however, skip
this step, so we have to install some extra packages manually.

haven't done any C development before, you will probably also need
to run

$ sudo dnf install gcc make libtool autoconf automake rpm-build
You might still be missing some dependencies if your distribution is
shipping an old libvirt version, but that will get you much closer to
where you need to be to build successfully from source.
