New Readme.txt

Description
I rewrote our Readme.txt to make it more useful for anything.
Logic behind my changes:
- do not try to target any users who don't build Dolphin by themselves
- don't assume the reader is dumb and include actual information
- try to explain more stuff which was previously undocumented (LLE subengine not being configurable, custom textures location, ...)
- explain the build system in more detail. I figured that people (myself included) often download software and only read the readme file.
- removed some outdated things
System requirements have been updated. I removed the reference to F|RES and ector because Dolphin doesn't really have a "project leader" and the tribute felt kinda out of place.
TODOs (reasons for this pull request):
- review spelling
- OSX installation/uninstallation
- discussion on these changes, if required
- proposals for things that need explaining in the Readme (I'm sure custom textures aren't the only thing that should've been added)
Attached are the patch and the new Readme.txt.

Well i think that the guides section of the site is also very helpful and it deserves a referral along with the faq. Also regarding the requirements, they are pretty vague the way they are worded and open to interpretations, needs to be a bit more specific. There is a huge difference between a dual core bulldozer and a dual core haswell at 3.0 ghz in dolphin. For example something like that a latest intel dual core chip clocked at 3.0 ghz is suggested, with amd cpus needing a much higher clocking of at least 4,0ghz+.

So my work isn't lost to the ether again, here's that Readme.txt with OS X-related edits. http://pastebin.com/EPWuHV5H

New revision:
- merged with pauldacheez's suggestions
- rephrased the CPU requirements a bit; going into detail here is just ridiculously blowing everything up, so I randomly chose "2008" as a CPU release year to look at (based on the release date of Intel's Core-i-series)
If there's no further concerns about this, I'll merge it sometime in the next few days.
