Code-server: Make a tuto to build it

[clintnetwork]

Hi,

please make a simple tuto to rrun code-server without downloading binary

thx

Should have build steps soon in the docs. Linked a PR that has the build steps in a file called build.md

Basic build instructions:
git clone git://github.com/codercom/code-server.git (If you want to build a specific version, go to the releases page and download the source code for whatever release you want to build)
cd code-server
npm install
scripts/build.sh

then your build will be saved in -> packages/server/cli-linux-(arch)

https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp/issues I would make an issue thread to get it resolved, this shouldn't be happening

Closing in favor of #417.
