…ructions from the intro doc, because most people won't need it for their first project.

LGTM. Should we cherrypick this for any branches? |
It applies to 4.5. Can't cherry-pick further than that though because of previous changes. |

On Discord, we regularly get people asking about or being directed to the "Getting Started" section of godot-cpp. This is great, because that means it's really useful!
However, we also regularly get people building with custom api files, although they do not intend to target the latest
masteror a custom branch. Often, they end up doing it because they don't read the text carefully enough to realize that this step is optional.Since most people do not need to build custom api files, and will target a stable branch instead, I don't think this information should be part of the "Getting Started" doc. I therefore propose to move it to "Build system" in a dedicated subsection instead.
