update documentation on installing and compiling Basilisk

[schaubh]

Describe your use case The documentation page Install/Building the Software Framework needs to be updated and refactored. For example, we should

• provide instructions on how to install using other generators like ninja that allow the use of the popular CLion IDE.
• move the documentation on building BSK using direct conan commands to a separate RST file
• add documentation that developers should not be compiling with python conanfile.py as this resets the messaging files each time and greatly increases the compile time.

Describe alternatives solutions you've considered N/A

add documentation that developers show not be compiling with python conanfile.py as this resets the messaging files each time and greatly increases the compile time. How to do this? Right now I compile everytime there's a change in a C Module.

[schaubh]

I fixed a typo in that bullet. If you run python conanfile.py, this deletes the already build messaging system, recreates interfaces for all messages.h files, and thus takes much longer to compile. This is a good step for a clean install, or when you add new message definitions that need to be integrated.

However, if you are just working on a module, I recommend compiling in Xcode or Visual Studio IDE. Then you get a much faster incremental build for the changed files, not a large rebuild of the large message system.
