docs: rework/update install.html 

Still far from perfect, but a few small steps in the right direction.

 - Split build systems, compilers, third party tools
 - Mention building mesa for Android (part of AOSP)
 - Drop explicit "other" dependencies. Reference to disto methods to
get them.
 - HTML 4.01 Traditional compliance fixes - mixed ul and br tags.
 - nuke dead links README.{CYGWIN,VMS}

v2: Squash typos, add note about buggy flex 2.6.2 (Eric), add Suse
zipper command (Tobias).

<h1 id="prereq-general">1. Prerequisites for building</h1>
<h2>1.1 General</h2>
<p>
Build system.
</p>
<ul>
<li>Autoconf is required when building on *nix platforms.
<li><a href="http://www.scons.org/">SCons</a> is required for building on
Windows and optional for Linux (it's an alternative to autoconf/automake.)
</li>
<li>Android Build system when building as native Android component. Autoconf
is used when when building ARC.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
The following compilers are known to work, if you know of others or you're
willing to maintain support for other compiler get in touch.
</p>
<ul>
<li>GCC 4.2.0 or later (some parts of Mesa may require later versions)
<li>clang - exact minimum requirement is currently unknown.
<li>Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 Update 4 or later is required, for building on Windows.
</ul>
<p>
Third party/extra tools.
<br>
<strong>Note</strong>: These should not be required, when building from a release tarball. If
you think you've spotted a bug let developers know by filing a
<a href="bugs.html">bug report</a>.
</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.python.org/">Python</a> - Python is required.
Version 2.6.4 or later should work.
</li>
<br>
<li><a href="http://www.makotemplates.org/">Python Mako module</a> -
Python Mako module is required. Version 0.3.4 or later should work.
</li>
</br>
<li><a href="http://www.scons.org/">SCons</a> is required for building on
Windows and optional for Linux (it's an alternative to autoconf/automake.)
</li>
<br>
<li>lex / yacc - for building the GLSL compiler.
<br>
<br>
On Linux systems, flex and bison are used.
Versions 2.5.35 and 2.4.1, respectively, (or later) should work.
<br>
<br>
<li>lex / yacc - for building the Mesa IR and GLSL compiler.
<div>
On Linux systems, flex and bison versions 2.5.35 and 2.4.1, respectively,
(or later) should work.
On Windows with MinGW, install flex and bison with:
<pre>mingw-get install msys-flex msys-bison</pre>
For MSVC on Windows, install
<a href="http://winflexbison.sourceforge.net/">Win flex-bison</a>.
</li>
<br>
<li>For building on Windows, Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 or later is required.
</li>
</div>
</ul>
<p><strong>Note</strong>: Some versions can be buggy (eg. flex 2.6.2) so do try others if things fail.</p>
<h3 id="prereq-dri">1.2 For DRI and hardware acceleration</h3>
<h3 id="prereq-dri">1.2 Requirements</h3>
<p>
The following are required for DRI-based hardware acceleration with Mesa:
The requirements depends on the features selected at configure stage.
Check/install the respective -devel package as prompted by the configure error
message.
</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://xorg.freedesktop.org/releases/individual/proto/">
dri2proto</a> version 2.6 or later
<li><a href="http://dri.freedesktop.org/libdrm/">libDRM</a> latest version
<li>Xorg server version 1.5 or later
<li>Linux 2.6.28 or later
</ul>
<p>
If you're using a fedora distro the following command should install all
the needed dependencies:
Here are some common ways to retrieve most/all of the dependencies based on
the packaging tool used by your distro.

<pre>
sudo yum install flex bison imake libtool xorg-x11-proto-devel libdrm-devel \
gcc-c++ xorg-x11-server-devel libXi-devel libXmu-devel libXdamage-devel git \
expat-devel llvm-devel python-mako

yum-builddep mesa # yum Fedora, OpenSuse(?)
dnf builddep mesa # dnf Fedora
apt-get build-dep mesa # Debian and derivatives

In order to achieve that one should update their local manifest to point to the
upstream repo, set the approapriate BOARD_GPU_DRIVERS and build the
libGLES_mesa library.
