Get rid of bootstrap.sh

Browse source 
For people working on Nix with `nix develop`, it's better to just use
`autoreconfPhase` and `configurePhase`, which is standard Nixpkgs / nix
shell make from Nixpkgs practice --- it is good to emphasize the degree
to which Nix is *just* a regular C++ project which can be worked on in
the regular way.

(For people running `nix-shell`, the story is similar, except
`configurePhase` would use non-writable store paths, which matters for
hte times we use output paths before `make install`, so I kept the
existing `./configure ...` instruction.)

For people building Nix without Nix (e.g. packaging it for another
distro) they also don't need `bootstrap.sh`, and can just run
`autoreconf -vfi` directly. (More likely, they have their own idioms to
do this just as we have `autoreconfPhase`.)
