Added SCons compilation instructions (#885)

* Added C compilation to SCons (not all work, though)

* First fully functional version of the build system for C code

* Simplified SConstruct file

* Simplified SConscript files

SConscript files are now mostly universal for C programs.
Additionally, the build hierarchy is now flattened (executables under the language folder)

* fixing chapter to use split-op code (#888)

Removed the quantum_systems SConscript

* modified Dockerfile for ntindle

* Changed my name in CONTRIBUTORS.md

* apparently forgot an algorithm

+"""
+SCons top-level build description (SConstruct) for the Arcane Algorithm Achive
+
+This provides Builder objects for each of the language implementations in the AAA; however, this work cannot be considered exhaustive until every language has been covered.
+
+Currently, the aim is to provide a way to compile or copy the implementation files to the build directory, as well as to provide ways to run them and capture their output.
+
+To run the compilation for all implmeentations in one language, e.g. Rust, run the command `scons build/c`, and the resulting executables will be available in the `cuild/c` directory, each in their respective algorithm directory, containing the executable."""
