README: add instructions for missing INSTALL file

Browse Source 
The file INSTALL has been dropped in 2009 with [1] and it has been

The file INSTALL is only present in official releases of OpenOCD
and not in the code cloned from git.

Add a note in README to report this inconsistency.

default for all GNU autotools packages. If you are not familiar with
the GNU autotools, then you should read those instructions first.
Note: if the INSTALL file is not present, it means you are using the
source code from a development branch, not from an OpenOCD release.
In this case, follow the instructions 'Compiling OpenOCD' below and
the file will be created by the first command './bootstrap'.
The remainder of this document tries to provide some instructions for
those looking for a quick-install.
