README.md: remove part of Install from source (#14368)
The entry "To skip bundled (third-parth/*) dependencies:" contains
inappropriate content.

- Lack of description of lua-luv-dev.
- Lack of description of libtree-sitter-dev.
- Contains libutf8proc-dev, which is no longer needed.
- The package libvterm-dev is out of date and probably unusable.

Therefore, it is not possible to build according to this description.
Also, there are only descriptions for Debian and Ubuntu. For these reasons,
this item will be deleted.

Neovim is a project that seeks to aggressively refactor Vim in order to:
- Simplify maintenance and encourage [contributions](CONTRIBUTING.md)
- Split the work between multiple developers
- Enable [advanced UIs] without modifications to the core
- Maximize [extensibility](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/wiki/Plugin-UI-architecture)
See the [Introduction](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/wiki/Introduction) wiki page and [Roadmap]
for more information.

Install from package
--------------------
Pre-built packages for Windows, macOS, and Linux are found on the
[Releases](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/releases/) page.
[Managed packages] are in [Homebrew], [Debian], [Ubuntu], [Fedora], [Arch Linux],
[Gentoo], and more!
Install from source
-------------------
See the [Building Neovim](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/wiki/Building-Neovim) wiki page for details.
The build is CMake-based, but a Makefile is provided as a convenience.
After installing the dependencies, run the following command.
make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo
sudo make install
To install to a non-default location:
make CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/full/path/
make install
To inspect the build, these CMake features are useful:
- `cmake --build build --target help` lists all build targets.
- `build/CMakeCache.txt` (or `cmake -LAH build/`) contains the resolved values of all CMake variables.
- `build/compile_commands.json` shows the full compiler invocations for each translation unit.
Transitioning from Vim
--------------------
See [`:help nvim-from-vim`](https://neovim.io/doc/user/nvim.html#nvim-from-vim) for instructions.
