[docs] refactor: full rewrite, generalization + dedup (#488)

"docs but awesome"

Combines most of the stuff that was repeated thrice over verbatim into a
single common Build Instructions page, with additional caveats marked
elsewhere. Prettifies some stuff too because why not.

# CPM
CPM (CMake Package Manager) is the preferred method of managing dependencies within Eden. Documentation on adding dependencies/using CPMUtil is in the works.
Notes:
- `YUZU_USE_CPM` is set by default on MSVC and Android. Other platforms should use this if certain "required" system dependencies (e.g. OpenSSL) are broken or missing
- `CPMUTIL_DEFAULT_SYSTEM` can be set to `OFF` to force the usage of bundled dependencies. This can marginally decrease the final package size.
- When adding new prebuilt dependencies a la OpenSSL, SDL2, or FFmpeg, there *must* be a CMake option made available to forcefully download this bundle. See the OpenSSL implementation in the root CMakeLists for an example.
* This is necessary to allow for creation of fully-qualified source packs that allow for offline builds after download (some package managers and distros enforce this)

- The level of namespacing is generally left to the committer's choice.
- However, we never recommend going more than two levels *except* in `hle`, in which case you may go as many as four levels depending on the specificity of your changes.
- Ocassionally, up to two namespaces may be provided for more clarity.
- Ocassionally, up to two additional namespaces may be provided for more clarity.
* Changes that affect the entire project (sans CMake changes) should be namespaced as `meta`.
- Maintainers are permitted to change namespaces at will.
- Commits within PRs are not required to be namespaced, but it is highly recommended.
