Commit message

Backport revision 3358: Fix documentation to point to the hacking guide (which explain where to get the source and how to build MAAS) and add reference to the development PPAs.

Description of the change

This is a pure documentation update: it has no impact on the code and this is why I'm landing it on 1.7.
