README: Delete section on compiler quirks 

This hasn't been relevant for years now. Even in 2.3, this wasn't
relevant, but we added a disclaimer saying that it only applies to 2.2.

But now issue #1052 has been opened specifically pointing to this
section as something that should be removed. Therefore, I'm removing it.

A Word About Compiler Quirks
----------------------------
_(Note: This section only applies to version 2.2 of the source code, which is
the initial commit of this repository. Since then, much hard work has been put
in to fix many undefined behaviors. If you're compiling the latest version of
the source code, ignore this section.)_
This engine is _super_ fussy about optimization levels and runtime checks. In
particular, the Windows version _absolutely positively must_ be compiled in
Debug mode, with /RTC enabled. If you build in Release mode, or have /RTC
disabled, the game behaves dramatically different in ways that were never fully
documented (bizarre softlocks, out-of-bounds issues that don't show up in tools
like Valgrind, stuff like that). There are lots of things about this old code
that could be cleaned up, polished, rewritten, and so on, but this is the one
that will probably bite you the hardest when setting up your own build,
regardless of platform.
We hope you'll enjoy messing with the source anyway!
Love, flibit
