This PR improves the instructions to setup the GNU coreutils.

Before the changes:

$ ./util/build-gnu.sh 
UU_MAKE_PROFILE='debug'
Could not find GNU coreutils (expected at '/home/dho/projects/gnu')
Run the following to download into the expected path:
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/coreutils/coreutils.git "/home/dho/projects/gnu"
After downloading GNU coreutils to "/home/dho/projects/gnu" run the following commands to checkout latest release tag
cd "/home/dho/projects/gnu"
git fetch --all --tags
git checkout tags/v9.8

After the changes:

$ ./util/build-gnu.sh 
UU_MAKE_PROFILE='debug'
Could not find the GNU coreutils (expected at '/home/dho/projects/gnu')
Download them to the expected path:
  git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/coreutils/coreutils.git "/home/dho/projects/gnu"
Afterwards, checkout the latest release tag:
  cd "/home/dho/projects/gnu"
  git fetch --all --tags
  git checkout tags/v9.8
