of it simplifies a couple places that had to grow around it.

* Remove the now obsolete comments at the beginning of the main Makefile
* Move and fix documentation of the bootstrap from INSTALL to
HACKING-bootstrap.adoc
* Update install instructions
In the interest of keeping HACKING.adoc not-too-long and
general-purpose, advice on modifying specific sub-systems of the
compiler distribution should be moved to the directory of this
sub-system.
This PR also clarifies the relations between the README, INSTALL,
HACKING and CONTRIBUTING documents.
