Fixes #747. Fixes #748. This updates README.dev.md to include clear, step-by-step instructions for setting up the Zulip dev environment Windows 10, OS X El Capitan, Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty, and Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial. It is aimed at first-time contributors. I tested these instructions multiple times on each of the target systems. Also added is a "trobleshooting and common errors" section which documents the most common errors contributors are likely to encounter during setup and how to fix them. Improvements based on feedback from @timabbott. - Fixes whitespace issues so linter will pass. - Updates memory requirement. - Re-orders so operating systems are listed alphabetically. - Updates headings to be clearer. - Updates and adds ToC entries for clarity. - Adds screen shot of Zulip dev environment running in browser. - Adds details about using dev environment, including about logging. - Misc other minor changes for clarity. - Adds a stub for docs/logging.md - Adds details about configuring Cygwin for native symlinks.

Logging and Performance Debugging
It's good to have the terminal running run-dev.py up as you work since error
messages including tracebacks along with every backend request will be printed
there.
The messages will look similar to:

The format of this output is: timestamp, loglevel, IP, HTTP Method, HTTP status code, time to process, (optional perf data details, e.g. database time/queries, memcached time/queries, Django process startup time, markdown processing time, etc.), URL, and "email via client" showing user account involved (if logged in) and the type of client they used ("web", "Android", etc.).
