README: Document how to develop for mpbb

I'm mainly doing this so that I won't have to figure it out again for
myself later.

## Development Setup ##

For development of `mpbb`, we recommend the following setup:

- Install a separate copy of MacPorts, e.g. in `/opt/mports`. See
[Install Multiple MacPorts Copies](https://guide.macports.org/#installing.macports.source.multiple).
It is not recommended to use your normal copy of MacPorts, since `mpbb` will
do cleanup after installation and deactivate all active ports.
- Call `mpbb` with `--prefix=/opt/mports` to use your custom prefix. You may
also want to set `--work-dir`.
