Fixes for various issues in "building" doc:
- removed information about mercurial and replaced with git as appropriate (as mercurial repos are no longer active)
- fixed broken section references
- fixed broken links, updated to web archive, where original site no longer exists ( with exception of `Windows FreeType DLL build instructions` link, where archived page is not available :( )
- updated md tables to use `|`, so they would correctly display in GH (e.g. compare [old](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk8u-dev/blob/d898d4018e0a16f2115f4b1cbf93eb5e653b789b/doc/building.md#cygwin) [new](https://github.com/zzambers/jdk8u-dev/blob/fix-doc/doc/building.md#cygwin))
- avoided use of block quotes (using `>`) in md, as it produces ugly result in GH (e.g. compare [old](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk8u-dev/blob/d898d4018e0a16f2115f4b1cbf93eb5e653b789b/doc/building.md#configure-options) [new](https://github.com/zzambers/jdk8u-dev/blob/fix-doc/doc/building.md#configure-options))
- regenerated html (visual changes in generated html are quite minor)
