[Doc][Developer Docs] Developer docs assume that users use git - they should also talk about source releases

Documentation Scope

Developer docs assume that users use git - they should also talk about source releases

Describe the Change

https://devlake.apache.org/docs/DeveloperManuals/DeveloperSetup/ should also describe how non-Git users can build the app.
The key release as far as ASF is concerened are the source releases. You need to facilitate users of these releases.

Additional context

I am a PMC member of the Apache Incubator and I have to be able to build your app to review it.

[pjfanning]

I've given up trying to build the app. Too much time and too many errors that need to be worked through.

One of the errors that I get:

make dev
fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
