Add 'Integration with IDEs' section.

For now, this section is mostly a reference to the documentation of
gen_compile_commands, also in doc/build, but it can be futurely used as
a guide for other IDE-friendly features.

You don't need a label to refer to a document. Just use a :doc: link.

This chapter is not related to our host tools and it is not related to
building. You could put it into a separate document in doc/develop/.
