Update getting started docs
compiler-rt is optional. We often get email from users with compiler-rt build errors who don't actually need compiler-rt. Marking it optional should help them avoid those potential problems. While I'm here, update a reference to the build directory and remove an obsolete reference to llvm-gcc. Nobody today is under the impression that Clang depends on GCC. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/cfe/trunk@265963 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
