There was an issue raised that the toolchain explanation for building and running the compiler needed some refinement. This patch aims to remedy that by specifying what "first" and "second" refer to, and what the toolchain does. Small change to the language to specify that the stage2 toolchain is not built, and how one would build it.

Hello :) My first issue, wanted to start small and easy. Glad to be able to contribute to the project and hope to take on more challenging tasks in the near future!

command listed below runs the stage1 compiler, which was built in the
steps above, with the name `stage1`. The second command runs the stage2
compiler using the stage1 compiler. This will be needed in the future
