Fix Netdata installation stalling at Preparing bundled Protobuf step

Reason for Change

Summary by cubic

Update the manual install guide to add flags that work around stalls at “Preparing bundled Protobuf,” plus a short troubleshooting note. You can now build with --use-system-protobuf (uses system protobuf/protobuf-compiler) or --disable-exporting-prometheus-remote-write (skips Protobuf entirely).

Written for commit 649029e. Summary will update on new commits.

Review in cubic

…us-remote-write` to the 'Optional parameters to alter your installation' list in manual.md, and added a 'Build appears to hang at "Preparing bundled Protobuf"' troubleshooting subsection explaining the stall scenario and the two remedies in user-facing terms.
