Change building instructions to favor official distribution

Browse Source 
The original brief building instructions started with a git
clone, which works fine but encourages new users to grab the
latest development snapshot. It is probably better for new
users to use a release. Change the instructions to show
using a tarball. Even if the version changes, the general
idea should be captured.

$ git clone https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk-m.git
The basic procedure for building VTK-m is to unpack the source, create a
build directory, run CMake in that build directory (pointing to the source)
and then build. Here are some example *nix commands for the process
(individual commands may vary).
```sh
$ tar xvzf ~/Downloads/vtk-m-v1.4.0.tar.gz
$ mkdir vtkm-build
$ cd vtkm-build
$ cmake-gui ../vtk-m
$ make -j<N>
$ make test
$ cmake-gui ../vtk-m-v1.4.0
$ cmake --build -j . # Runs make (or other build program)
```
