Paweł Poławski 55a007a871 Readme: Update project build information
osbuild-composer project has build related section in the main README.
For the osbuild it was missing. Even if this is script-based project
external developers may not be aware of this just by looking at README.
Missing build related section has been added for consistency.

# OSBuild
Build-Pipelines for Operating System Artifacts
OSBuild is a pipeline-based build system for operating system artifacts. It
defines a universal pipeline description and a build system to execute them,
producing artifacts like operating system images, working towards an image
build pipeline that is more comprehensible, reproducible, and extendable.
See the `osbuild(1)` man-page for details on how to run osbuild, the definition
of the pipeline description, and more.

## Requirements
The requirements for this project are:
* `bubblewrap >= 0.4.0`
* `python >= 3.6`
Additionally, the built-in stages require:
* `bash >= 5.0`
* `coreutils >= 8.31`
* `curl >= 7.68`
* `qemu-img >= 4.2.0`
* `rpm >= 4.15`
* `tar >= 1.32`
* `util-linux >= 235`
* `skopeo`
At build-time, the following software is required:
* `python-docutils >= 0.13`
* `pkg-config >= 0.29`
Testing requires additional software:
* `pytest`
## Build
Osbuild is a python script so it is not compiled.
To verify changes made to the code use included makefile rules:
* `make lint` to run linter on top of the code
* `make test-all` to run base set of tests
* `sudo make test-run` to run extended set of tests (takes long time)
## Installation
Installing `osbuild` requires to not only install the `osbuild` module, but also
additional artifacts such as tools (i.e: `osbuild-mpp`) sources, stages, schemas
and SELinux policies.
For this reason, doing an installation from source is not trivial and the easier
way to install it is to create the set of RPMs that contain all these components.
This can be done with the `rpm` make target, i.e:
```sh
make rpm
```
A set of RPMs will be created in the `./rpmbuild/RPMS/noarch/` directory and can
be installed in the system using the distribution package manager, i.e:
```sh
sudo dnf install ./rpmbuild/RPMS/noarch/*.rpm
```
