Move godot-cpp custom bindings information to the 'build system' instructions from the intro doc, because most people won't need it for their first project.

+Using custom bindings
+---------------------
+
+Every branch of godot-cpp comes with bindings appropriate for the respective Godot version
+(e.g. the ``4.3`` branch comes with bindings compatible with Godot version ``4.3`` and
+later).
+
+However, you may want to use custom bindings, for example:
+
+* If you want to use the latest bindings from Godot ``master``.
+* If you want to use bindings exposed by custom modules.
+
+To use custom bindings, you first have to generate them from the appropriate Godot
+executable:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+    godot --dump-extension-api
+
+The resulting ``extension_api.json`` file will be created in the executable's
+directory. To use these custom bindings, you can add ``custom_api_file`` to
+your build command:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+    scons platform=<platform> custom_api_file=<PATH_TO_FILE>
+
+Alternatively, you can add them as the default bindings to your project by adding
+the following line to your SConstruct file:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    localEnv["custom_api_file"] = "extension_api.json"

-Building the C++ bindings
--------------------------
-
-Now that we've downloaded our prerequisites, it is time to build the C++
-bindings.
-
-The repository contains a copy of the metadata for the current Godot release,
-but if you need to build these bindings for a newer version of Godot, call
-the Godot executable:
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
-    godot --dump-extension-api
-
-The resulting ``extension_api.json`` file will be created in the executable's
-directory. Copy it to the project folder and add ``custom_api_file=<PATH_TO_FILE>``
-to the scons command below.
-
-To generate and compile the bindings, use this command (replacing ``<platform>``
-with ``windows``, ``linux`` or ``macos`` depending on your OS):
-
-The build process automatically detects the number of CPU threads to use for
-parallel builds. To specify a number of CPU threads to use, add ``-jN`` at the
-end of the SCons command line where ``N`` is the number of CPU threads to use.
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
-    cd godot-cpp
-    scons platform=<platform> custom_api_file=<PATH_TO_FILE>
-    cd ..
-
-This step will take a while. When it is completed, you should have static
-libraries that can be compiled into your project stored in ``godot-cpp/bin/``.
-
-.. note::
-
-    You may need to add ``bits=64`` to the command on Windows or Linux.
