How to set up a local dev environment

[kytrinyx]

See issue exercism/exercism#2092 for an overview of operation welcome contributors.

---

Provide instructions on how to contribute patches to the exercism test suites
and examples: dependencies, running the tests, what gets tested on Travis-CI,
etc.

The contributing document
in the x-api repository describes how all the language tracks are put
together, as well as details about the common metadata, and high-level
information about contributing to existing problems, or adding new problems.

The README here should be language-specific, and can point to the contributing
guide for more context.

From the OpenHatch guide:

Here are common elements of setting up a development environment you’ll want your guide to address:

Preparing their computer
Make sure they’re familiar with their operating system’s tools, such as the terminal/command prompt. You can do this by linking to a tutorial and asking contributors to make sure they understand it. There are usually great tutorials already out there - OpenHatch’s command line tutorial can be found here.
If contributors need to set up a virtual environment, access a virtual machine, or download a specific development kit, give them instructions on how to do so.
List any dependencies needed to run your project, and how to install them. If there are good installation guides for those dependencies, link to them.

Downloading the source
Give detailed instructions on how to download the source of the project, including common missteps or obstacles.

How to view/test changes
Give instructions on how to view and test the changes they’ve made. This may vary depending on what they’ve changed, but do your best to cover common changes. This can be as simple as viewing an html document in a browser, but may be more complicated.

Installation will often differ depending on the operating system of the contributor. You will probably need to create separate instructions in various parts of your guide for Windows, Mac and Linux users. If you only want to support development on a single operating system, make sure that is clear to users, ideally in the top-level documentation.

@LegalizeAdulthood Mind if I take a crack at this one?

I'm pretty sure this is mostly done. https://github.com/exercism/xcpp/blob/master/docs/INSTALLATION.md

It does, I think, need to be updated though. See #96

@nellshamrell if you could figure out how to close this out that would be wonderful.

This track doesn't really have any specific requirements for contributing to it, and the setup for testing changes is effectively identical to just doing the exercises themselves.

I updated the link to the main Contributing guide in the README, but otherwise this track shouldn't need too much other explanation.
