update public README about supported platforms, compilers

Summary:
The README stated "folly requires gcc 5.1+ and a version of boost..." which
some people might thing means that folly only supports gcc.

Edit the README with more details about supported compilers and platforms.
I tried to strike a balance between informative (FB uses folly on many
platforms), conservative (the CMake build might not support all of them),
and not mentioning specific versions (likely to get outdated.)

#### Dependencies
folly requires gcc 5.1+ and a version of boost compiled with C++14 support.
folly supports gcc (5.1+), clang, or MSVC. It should run on Linux (x86-32,
x86-64, and ARM), iOS, macOS, and Windows (x86-64). The CMake build is only
tested on some of these platforms; at a minimum, we aim to support macOS and
Linux (on the latest Ubuntu LTS release or newer.)
folly requires a version of boost compiled with C++14 support.
googletest is required to build and run folly's tests. You can download
it from https://github.com/google/googletest/archive/release-1.8.0.tar.gz
