Mitchell Hentges a3eb85e571 Bug 1687980: Make macOS quickstart docs more concise r=sylvestre,mhoye
* Puts the docs in order, so that contributors aren't jumping to the
  middle of the page to install system tools, then back to the top to
  clone Firefox.
* Removes docs on MacPorts since it's being removed in bug 1688263.
* Removes step to manually install brew packages since that happens
   automatically in bootstrap now.
* Simplifies mercurial installation docs
* Removes unnecessary mozconfig-tweaking instructions
* Removes almost-always-unnecessary DEFINE and troubleshooting
  information.

mozboot - Bootstrap your system to build Mozilla projects
=========================================================

This package contains code used for bootstrapping a system to build
mozilla-central.

This code is not part of the build system per se. Instead, it is related
to everything up to invoking the actual build system.

If you have a copy of the source tree, you run:

    python bin/bootstrap.py

If you don't have a copy of the source tree, you can run:

    curl https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/raw-file/default/python/mozboot/bin/bootstrap.py -o bootstrap.py
    python bootstrap.py

The bootstrap script will download everything it needs from hg.mozilla.org
automatically!
