[docs] Reorganize and update development instructions (#5233)
iOS - Add section headers. - Add more detail to `make` packaging commands and emphasize that Debug is the default build type. - Manually checking out git submodules is no longer necessary. Core - Add 'Keeping up to date' section that mentions submodules.
