Update INSTALL.md (#6412)
This PR updates our build and installation instructions in INSTALL.md after we have changed how we handle dependencies. Thanks @polgreen / #6391.

## Build dependencies

+cvc5 makes uses of a number of tools and libraries. Some of these are required
+while others are only used with certain configuration options. If
+`--auto-download` is given, cvc5 can automatically download and build most
+libraries that are not already installed on your system. Versions given are

or [Clang](https://clang.llvm.org) (reasonably recent versions)

-### Installing libantlr3c: ANTLR parser generator C support library
+### ANTLR 3.4 parser generator
-For libantlr3c, you can use the script `contrib/get-antlr-3.4`.
-This will download, patch, and install libantlr3c.
+For most systems, the package manager no longer contains pre-packaged versions
+of ANTLR 3.4. With `--auto-download`, cvc5 will automatically download and build
+ANTLR 3.4.
-If you're on a 32-bit machine, or if you have difficulty building
-libantlr3c (or difficulty getting cvc5 to link against it), you
-may need to remove the configure option `--enable-64bit` in the script.
-### Warning: GCC 4.5.1
+### GMP (GNU Multi-Precision arithmetic library)
-GCC version 4.5.1 seems to have a bug in the optimizer that may result in
-incorrect behavior (and wrong results) in many builds. This is a known problem
-for MiniSat, and since MiniSat is at the core of cvc5, a problem for cvc5.
-We recommend using a GCC version > 4.5.1.

-### Warning: Installing GMP via `contrib/get-gmp-dev`
-
-Do **not** install GMP via the provided script `contrib/get-gmp-dev` unless
-your distribution
-* does not ship with the GMP configuration you need, e.g.,
- `contrib/get-gmp-dev` is used in `configure.sh` when cross-compiling GMP for

-* does not ship with static GMP libraries (e.g., Arch Linux)
- and you want to build cvc5 statically.

+GMP is usually available on you distribution and should be used from there. It
+can be downloaded and built automatically. If it does not, or you want to
