Summary

In #1439 we updated the install from source documentation to reflect recent (as in the last year) changes to the build process and ensure the documentation was correct for installing from source. However, in #1507 where some of the documentation was refactored these changes were inadvertadntly delete. This commit restores the correct source installation instructions from #1439 so that the hosted docs correctly document how to build and install qiskit from source.

This number only actually follows from the Linux and macOS paths (not the Windows one), but that was pre-existing anyway.
