lnd: update build+installation instructions to use glide

Browse Source 
This commit updates the build, installation, and upgrade instructions to use
Glide which allows for reproducible builds using Golang 1.5 or 1.6.

As a result, if one wishes to ensure they've properly installed lnd, the `go
get` command can no longer be used to install lnd.

* In order to build form source, the following build dependancies are required:

Installation instructions can be found here: http://golang.org/doc/install. It is recommended to add `$GOPATH/bin` to your `PATH` at this point.
**Note:** If you are building with Go 1.5, then you'll need to enable the vendor experiment by setting the `GO15VENDOREXPERIMENT` environment variable to `1`. If you're using Go 1.5, then it is safe to skip this step.

go get -u -v github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/...
$ git clone https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd $GOPATH/src/github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd
