Update INSTALL about MINIX 3

The latest stable is 3.3.0 and it's from 2014.
Don't mention the older versions in INSTALL.
3.3.0 ships with Clang already.

Testing with 3.4.0beta6 shows that tuklib_physmem
works too so omit comments about that from INSTALL.
Visibility warnigns weren't a problem either.

Thus it's enough to mention the need for --disable-threads
as configure doesn't autodetect the lack of pthreads.

1.2.3. MINIX 3
The default install of MINIX 3 includes Amsterdam Compiler Kit (ACK),
which doesn't support C99. Install GCC to compile XZ Utils.
Version 3.3.0 and later are supported.
MINIX 3.1.8 and older have bugs in /usr/include/stdint.h, which has
to be patched before XZ Utils can be compiled correctly. See
<http://gforge.cs.vu.nl/gf/project/minix/tracker/?action=TrackerItemEdit&tracker_item_id=537>.
Multithreading isn't supported because MINIX 3 doesn't have
pthreads. The option --disable-threads must be passed to configure
as this isn't autodetected.
MINIX 3.2.0 and later use a different libc and aren't affected by
the above bug.
XZ Utils doesn't have code to detect the amount of physical RAM and
number of CPU cores on MINIX 3.
See section 5.4 in this file about symbol visibility warnings (you
may want to pass gl_cv_cc_visibility=no to configure).
Note that disabling threads causes "make check" to show a few tests
as skipped ("SKIP"). It's only due to a few threading-dependent
subtests are skipped. See the matching tests/test_*.log files.
