README.md: Add brief docs for building newt tool.
Apache Newt is a build and package management tool for embedded projects. Newt makes it easy to create reusable components, and provides a framework for building them for multiple different architectures. For more information on Apache Newt and related tools, please go to: http://mynewt.apache.org/
Apache Newt and related tools are written in the Go programming language. After acquiring the Go build system (https://golang.org/), Newt can be built using the following procedure (from the base of the newt repository): $ cd newt $ go get $ go install
This procedure will install the Newt binary into $GOPATH/bin.
Note: Apache Newt depends on the yaml.v2 Go package (https://gopkg.in/yaml.v2). This package is licensed under the LGPLv3, which is incompatible with the Apache 2.0 license. This incompatibility will be resolved in a future beta release.
