Steps to reproduce

git clone aws-crt-nodejs, and run npm install

Observed behavior

npm install fails.

Expected behavior

Either npm install is successful, or instructions are added in https://github.com/awslabs/aws-crt-nodejs/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md

Additional context

• I attempted to reduce install size for aws-crt as documented in Reduce number of dependencies added by AWS CRT #333
• Relevant How to build? aws-c-io#276

The missing step git submodule update --init is mentioned in root-level README.md
