README: copy paragraph about --enable-* from configure

This issue hits users way too often. Copy the explanation printed by the
configure script to the README to give it more visibility.

We will fix this properly once we have a new build system.

configure --enable-* parameters
-------------------------------
The --enable-* parameters unconditionally force options on, completely
skipping autodetection. This behavior is unlike what you may be used to from
autoconf-based configure scripts that can decide to override you. This greater
level of control comes at a price. You may have to provide the correct compiler
and linker flags yourself.
If you used one of these options and experience a compilation or
linking failure, make sure you have passed the necessary compiler/linker flags
to configure.
