CONTRIBUTING: Include note about build system tools

Debian always runs autoreconf at package build time, which means
that apt-get build-dep will bring in everything that's needed to
build libvirt from a git clone; Fedora and RHEL, however, skip
this step, so we have to install some extra packages manually.

 You might still be missing some dependencies if your distribution is
 shipping an old libvirt version, but that will get you much closer to
 where you need to be to build successfully from source.
