README.klibc: update build information

It seems this file was still conveying the old way to build klibc
and hence confusing the users, simplify and reword build instructions.

 The build procedure is not very polished yet, but it should work like
 this:
 
-a) In the source root directory (the directory above the one in which

-   target of "make headers_install" from a recent Linux kernel tree.
-   This can be done by extracting the Linux kernel into a directory,
