Building was tricky; README is scant

Using Docker Desktop on an Apple Silicon Mac, this finally worked for me:

$ docker run -i -t ubuntu:kinetic /bin/bash
# apt install build-essential git libhwy-dev liblcms2-dev libjpeg-turbo8-dev libpng-dev cmake ninja-build
# git clone https://github.com/cloudinary/ssimulacra2.git
# cd ssimulacra2
# mkdir build
# cd build
# cmake ../src -G Ninja
# ninja ssimulacra2

Tricky bits:

  1. ubuntu:latest pulled jammy; apt on jammy will only install lcms2 version 2.12, but ssimulacra2 requires 2.13.
  2. On Ubuntu, the libjpeg-turbo-dev library is called libjpeg-turbo8-dev, not libjpeg62-turbo-dev as the instructions state.
  3. I needed build-essential to build CXX things.

Dunno if any of this is worth calling out in the install instructions, or if they need to be elaborated/clarified.

Also what I wouldn't do to get this as a homebrew package and/or wasm build! But I digress...

Thanks! Added most of this info to the README.
