Recommend the use of https and mention git on building/checkout.html

Reviewed by Mark Rowe.
This page was quite out-dated. Stop mentioning about how to install subversion on OS X 10.4
because the paragraph right above it refers to buliding/tools.html for that.
Recommend the use of HTTPS connection for the Subversion checkout and also mention how to
checkout using a Git client.
