[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Add simplest development build process to HACKING (#1690)

[Matthew Brush]

This might make more sense as a wiki article rather than an official recommendation.

It has a couple things that aren't such good ideas like in-tree builds, using `autogen.sh` in place of `configure` (even if it forwards the arguments, it's not a great idea, especially after the first time, and is likely to confuse people), and installing into the directory where the source directory is might cause confusion (think if they use `/home/projects` as the prefix, their projects directory will be filled with a bunch of install artifacts).
