Erica FrancoandBrandon Thomas 31def413cc fix(docs): Linux build prerequisites only name Debian packages (#2437) ...

The prerequisites listed `libxkbcommon-dev ... libgtk-3-dev`, which exist only
on Debian and Ubuntu: on Arch none of those names resolve and `pacman -S` fails
on the whole line, and on Fedora and openSUSE they all need `-devel`. Nothing
else in the repository gives the equivalents.

The app already speaks four distros at runtime: linux_libs.rs carries a
{soname, debian, fedora, arch, suse} table, reads ID and ID_LIKE from
/etc/os-release and prints the matching apt, dnf, pacman or zypper command when
a runtime library is missing. This brings the build instructions up to that.

Also adds the prerequisites to the book's Building page, which said only to
install the Rust toolchain.
