  • Does make -j8 test (UNIX) or vcbuild test nosign (Windows) pass with
    this change (including linting)?
  • Is the commit message formatted according to [CONTRIBUTING.md][0]?
  • If this change fixes a bug (or a performance problem), is a regression
    test (or a benchmark) included?
  • Is a documentation update included (if this change modifies
    existing APIs, or introduces new ones)?

Description of change

This makes the main README easier to consume and likely less confusing for people that get it as part of a binary download.

Tentative nit: Maybe file name should be BUILD.md rather than BUILDING.md. IIRC, BUILD is a pretty typical file to find in projects. I don't recall ever seeing a BUILDING file. (Of course, maybe I just have a terrible memory.)
