Changes in directory llvm/docs:

GettingStarted.html updated: 1.76 -> 1.77
---
Log message:

* Remove disk space requirements, they vary wildly, depend on the number of
  tools built, the build type, and we don't keep them up-to-date on all
  platforms
* AIX, Linux on PowerPC aren't fully-supported systems
