Riley Karson aa1f07c5c6 Link to the detailed test guide in project readme (#1854)
Right now, we have a detailed guide to running acceptance tests in [CONTRIBUTING.MD](https://github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-google/blob/master/.github/CONTRIBUTING.md#tests) while this file has the one-size-fits-all guideline of running `make test` and `make testacc` with no arguments. Instead, we can link to the detailed, provider specific guide so that we properly surface the required arguments/environment variables for `make testacc`, and don't incorrectly introduce `make test` as the primary means of testing the Google provider.

Maintainers
-----------
This provider plugin is maintained by:
* The [Google Cloud Graphite Team](https://cloudplatform.googleblog.com/2017/03/partnering-on-open-source-Google-and-HashiCorp-engineers-on-managing-GCP-infrastructure.html) at Google
* The Terraform team at [HashiCorp](https://www.hashicorp.com/)
Requirements
------------
- [Terraform](https://www.terraform.io/downloads.html) 0.10.x
- [Go](https://golang.org/doc/install) 1.9 (to build the provider plugin)
Building The Provider
---------------------
Clone repository to: `$GOPATH/src/github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-google`
```sh
$ mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/terraform-providers; cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/terraform-providers
$ git clone git@github.com:terraform-providers/terraform-provider-google
```
Enter the provider directory and build the provider
```sh
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-google
$ make build
```
Using the provider
----------------------
See the [Google Provider documentation](https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/google/index.html) to get started using the Google provider.
Upgrading the provider
----------------------
To upgrade to the latest stable version of the Google provider run `terraform init -upgrade`. See the [Terraform website](https://www.terraform.io/docs/configuration/providers.html#provider-versions) for more information.
Developing the Provider
---------------------------
If you wish to work on the provider, you'll first need [Go](http://www.golang.org) installed on your machine (version 1.9+ is *required*). You'll also need to correctly setup a [GOPATH](http://golang.org/doc/code.html#GOPATH), as well as adding `$GOPATH/bin` to your `$PATH`.
To compile the provider, run `make build`. This will build the provider and put the provider binary in the `$GOPATH/bin` directory.
```sh
$ make build
...
$ $GOPATH/bin/terraform-provider-google
...
```
In order to test the Google provider, see the [Tests section of the contribution guidelines](https://github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-google/blob/master/.github/CONTRIBUTING.md#tests).
