BUILD.md - Clearer differences with binaries

Browse Source 
Coming from personal inconvenience - I've tried to build this from source, and was faced with Microsoft accounts not working. Upon re-reading the READMEs, I didn't find a reason for it, so I resorted to messaging in the Discord, which, after some back and forth, allowed me to understand that additional private stuff is needed for it to work. The question could've been avoided entirely, in my opinion, if this was included in BUILD.md - the place where anyone intending to build from source will come for guidance.

(Not) Secrets should've been linked clearly because it's a crucial piece of info for someone building from source, since normally. I'd expect the source code to fully reflect the pre-built binaries.

you set the install path to something you have write access to. Never build this under
an administrator/root level account. Don't use `sudo`. It won't work and it's not supposed to work.
