Add missing gen-module step to course module instructions

The README instructions for running course module examples were missing
the step to generate course.module from the KRoC SConscript. This file
is not included in the upstream KRoC repo and must be generated locally.

Fixes #35

## Summary
- Adds the missing `gen-module` step to the README's "Running Programs with the Course Module" section
- The `course.module` file is not in the upstream KRoC repo and must be generated from the SConscript before transpiling examples that include it

## Test plan
- [x] Removed `kroc/` directory and followed all 5 steps from scratch — output matches README exactly

Fixes #35

associate-1: I investigated this and the documented commands do work correctly when the `kroc/` directory is present. I verified both `examples/course_hello.occ` and `kroc/modules/course/examples/hello_world.occ` transpile successfully with `-I kroc/modules/course/libsrc`.

The error message says `line 1`, which matches `kroc/modules/course/examples/hello_world.occ` (has `#INCLUDE` on line 1). The most likely cause is that `./scripts/clone-kroc.sh` wasn't run first — the `kroc/` directory is a separate git clone that isn't checked into this repo, so without running that script there's no `course.module` file to find.

The README does show the clone script as step 1 in the "Running Programs with the Course Module" section, but it's easy to skip past. Some possible improvements:

1. **Documentation clarity** — Make the dependency on the clone step more prominent (e.g., a note/warning box)
2. **Better error message** — The preprocessor could suggest checking include paths or running the clone script when a `.module` file isn't found
3. **Add `kroc/` to `.gitignore`** — It's a cloned external repo but isn't currently gitignored
dboreham: Hmm, interesting. I don't have the course.module file at that directory in kroc. You can see in the github repo that file is not present: https://github.com/concurrency/kroc/tree/master/modules/course/libsrc
Is it possible the file is present for you because it has been generated locally at some point in the past?
associate-1: You're right — `course.module` is not tracked in the KRoC repo. It's an untracked local file that was generated previously via the `gen-module` subcommand. The README instructions are missing this step.

After cloning KRoC, you need to generate the module file:

```bash
./occam2go gen-module -o kroc/modules/course/libsrc/course.module kroc/modules/course/libsrc/SConscript
```

I'll put together a fix that adds this step to the README and also adds `kroc/` to `.gitignore`.
dboreham: Ah, that makes sense and thank you for the quick response.
dboreham: Thank you! I ran the commands in your new version of the readme and it now works for me.

The original reporter (@dboreham) has confirmed it works for them. Merging now.
