Remove "Build from Source" section on Linux package pages

The measured traffic patterns indicated that people wanting to
build from source were not getting to the source tarballs from
the Linux package pages, rather a) people on the package pages
wanted the pre-built packages and b) people who wanted source
code went directly to the source code from the main downloads
page.
