doc: cleanup doc on need of Developer Account to obtain macOS SDK
The explicit statement that an Apple Developer Account is required in
order to obtain the SDK is buried within the "Deterministic macOS DMG
Notes" section. It should be the first thing mentioned under the "SDK
Extraction" section. The reason to do this is to set expectations of
what is required before starting any steps or clicking on links.
This fixes the issue by doing just that; moving this information to the
"SDK Extraction" section. Now that the information is moved, this also
deletes unnecessary SDK related notes from the "Deterministic macOS DMG
Notes" section. It is not necessary to explain under what sub-directory
'most' of the important files are inside of the 'Xcode.app'.
