konsti 77dcb2421a Add some instructions about build dependencies (#1075)
You need to install cmake on windows, so i added a hint about using
`pipx install cmake`, and some more general notes on building and
testing puffin.

See #817

## Setup
You need [Rust](https://rustup.rs/), a C compiler, and CMake to build Puffin. To run the tests, you need Python 3.8, 3.9 and 3.12.
To run the tests we recommend [nextest](https://nexte.st/). Make sure to run the tests with `--all-features`, otherwise you'll miss most of our integration tests.
### Linux
We recommend [pyenv](https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv) to manage multiple Python versions.
On Ubuntu and other Debian-based distributions, you can install the C compiler and CMake with
```shell
sudo apt install build-essential cmake
```
### Windows
You can install CMake from the [installers](https://cmake.org/download/) or with `pipx install cmake` (make sure that the pipx install path is in `PATH`, pipx complains if it isn't).
## Running inside a docker container
Source distributions can run arbitrary code on build and can make unwanted modifications to your system (https://moyix.blogspot.com/2022/09/someones-been-messing-with-my-subnormals.html, https://pypi.org/project/nvidia-pyindex/), which can even occur when just resolving requirements. To prevent this, there's a Docker container you can run commands in:
```bash
docker buildx build -t puffin-builder -f builder.dockerfile --load .
# Build for musl to avoid glibc errors, might not be required with your OS version
cargo build --target x86_64-unknown-linux-musl --profile profiling --features vendored-openssl
docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/app puffin-builder /app/target/x86_64-unknown-linux-musl/profiling/puffin-dev resolve-many --cache-dir /app/cache-docker /app/scripts/popular_packages/pypi_10k_most_dependents.txt
```
We recommend using this container if you don't trust the dependency tree of the package(s) you are trying to resolve or install.
