Update README.md#Compiling to direct to kdesrc-build

Alexander Kavon requested to merge hawk/plasma-nm:plasma-nm-compilation-warning into master

Inspired by my most recent attempt to develop for this specific module. I used the build instructions and ended up soft-bricking my desktop. This was resolved with a little debugging and foresight, however it may be better to point to the KDE developer kdesrc-build best practices guide.

The bug in question was using sudo make install (final step in README.md#Compiling), which installed:

/usr/lib/qt/plugins/plasma/kcms/systemsettings_qwidgets/kcm_networkmanagement.so

on Manjaro Linux. However this is not the correct path and caused systemsettings5 to not recognize or register/load the kcm_networkmanagement.so UI or list the module in the CLI. The solution was to delete this file and then reinstall plasma-nm.
