Compile Ardour from source on Open Suse Tumbleweed

On Open Suse you have the fresh version of Ardour in some unofficial repository but if you want to compile it in order to contribute in the future you need to compile it so we start with the complete guide from scratch.

I just make a guide for Linux Mint and this is the version for Open Suse.
