docs(dev_tools): fix how to properly run not yet installed build

Problem: running ./build/bin/nvim without make install
- doesn't respect local changes in ./runtime,
- includes the path where Nvim would be installed,
- ignores changes in precompiled Lua modules (like .../vim/_editor.lua)

Solution:
- use VIMRUNTIME=./runtime,
- use --luamod-dev
