[PATCH] README.md: Extend NetBSD and macOS hints

[Greg Troxel]

- Note that pkgsrc has TEST_DEPENDS for bup.
- Explain the strategy of building but not installing bup to install
dependencies and then building from sources.

- Explain that bash included with macOS is ancient and that bup 0.34
requires newer bash.
