Add build instructions for LimeSDR software

Included detailed build instructions for Debian-based and Arch Linux
systems in the README. C++ build dependencies and steps are now
documented, facilitating the setup process for new contributors and
users. The update ensures clarity on how to compile the software and
where to find the resulting `limedriver` executable.

## Building
The software is written in C++ and uses the LimeSuite and HDF5 libraries. The software is built using CMake.
On Debian-based systems, the following packages are required to build the software:
```
sudo apt-get install g++ cmake liblimesuite-dev libhdf5-dev
```
On Arch Linux, the following packages are required to build the software:
```
sudo pacman -S gcc cmake limesuite hdf5
```
To build the software, run the following commands in the root directory of the repository:
```
cmake -B build
cmake --build build
```
This will create an executable called `limedriver` in the `build` directory.
