dae224fdb1 docs: compiling: Separate information on how to install libvirt and add disclaimer
Create a section for instructions on how to install the built binaries
rather than mentioning it multiple times.

Add a note that installing over your distro-provided packages will most
likely break your instalation.

build so make a new section for it.

fbd6b2480a docs: compiling: Add a paragraph suggesting installation from repository
Users should be encouraged to install libvirt from the distro's repos in
the first place.

Also encourage distro-specific ways to get newer versions, rather than
building from source manually.
