Research direction

Start by locating the developer guide section covering builds or development workflows, then read CPython's Tools/jit/README.md, which the issue identifies as the main JIT building documentation. Add a discoverable JIT-build section that links to the detailed guide, and verify that the new section fits the guide's existing structure and conventions.

Description

Describe the enhancement or feature you would like

The guide should have a section about JIT builds, even if it mostly delegates to a link to the JIT building docs.

Describe alternatives you have considered

No response

Additional context

The main JIT building documentation is pretty hidden, being mentioned in 3.13 What's New but not in the devguide.
