Adds a section explaining how to build LLVM 7.x from source to getting_started.md.

- Finally, on some operating systems you might have to build LLVM from source if no prebuilt binaries are available and the package repositories do not support the 7.x versions. The build process depends on the exact operating system. The commands below demonstrate the process on Ubuntu 22.04 with LLVM 7.1:
```sh
# Download and unpack the source code, see https://releases.llvm.org/
wget https://releases.llvm.org/download.html#7.1.0

I think wget https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/releases/download/llvmorg-7.1.0/llvm-7.1.0.src.tar.xz is better. This downloads the file, with the hashtag one would download the webpage
