Merge #12322: Docs: Remove step making cloned repository world-writable for Windows build. 

eeeb416 Remove suggestion to make cloned repository world-writable for Windows build. (murrayn)

Pull request description:

  Current documentation for Windows build on Ubuntu suggests cloning the repository into /usr/src, as root, and making the tree world-writable(!). I can see no problem this solves, and it introduces obvious security issues.

This means you cannot use a directory that located directly on the host Windows file system to perform the build.
The next three steps are an example of how to acquire the source in an appropriate way.
Acquire the source in the usual way:
cd /usr/src
