Cmake compilation without root #315

Hey! I've just had lovely few hours compiling marian (inside UEDINMS) for CPU translation. I've had many challenges and I think there is some room for improvement of installation process:

Hi, TCMalloc and BLAS are not actually required, MKL is required only for CPU usage, when using the GPU it can be omitted.

Good to know about the conda part, not something we have explored yet. We will take a look at that. On the other hand it is hard to foresee people's specific favorite installers. I have never used conda in my life :)

If there is something you would like to write up into a paragraph about Arch or Conda, we can happily include it in the readme.

@snukky Adding a few words on the minimal requirements to the README might be a good idea.
