Document dependencies installation process #10

For:

apt for Ubuntu
brew for macOS
vcpkg for Windows

As fcl 0.6.0 in the end was not shipped with Ubuntu 20.04, probably it make sense to also offer the option to download internally using CMake's FetchContent .

As some times as passed all the require dependencies, except for fcl, should be available on apt of Ubuntu 20.04/Homebrew/vcpkg, so we should start documenting them.

fcl in a sense is a "special" dependency as it is developed by drake team, so in the end drake will probably always require a rather recent fcl version, so it make sense to fetch it and use it via FetchContent by default, and just have an option to find it externally for specific scenario (superbuild or similar).
