5559cf1460c98eb6998d99784f27de85f95f14d0 doc: Add packages that provide Qt Wayland plugin for Linux (Hennadii Stepanov)

Pull request description:

  When building on Linux using system packages (without depends) the support of Wayland protocol for modern desktop environments (e.g., GNOME, KDE Plasma) depends on the presence of the installed Qt Wayland plugin which is loaded dynamically at the GUI startup.

  1. On Debian/Ubuntu, the [`qtwayland5`](https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/qtwayland5) package is required (also see this [patch](https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtbase/+/231227), and this [doc](https://wiki.debian.org/Wayland#Qt_.28supported_since_5.29)):
  - with `qtwayland5` installed:
  ```
  $ QT_QPA_PLATFORM="wayland;xcb" ./src/qt/bitcoin-qt -printtoconsole
  Warning: Ignoring XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland on Gnome. Use QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland to run on Wayland anyway.
  2021-08-05T09:51:31Z Bitcoin Core version v22.99.0-c4b42aa4ffa1 (release build)

  ...
  ```

  - without `qtwayland5`:
  ```
  $ QT_QPA_PLATFORM="wayland;xcb" ./src/qt/bitcoin-qt -printtoconsole
  Warning: Ignoring XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland on Gnome. Use QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland to run on Wayland anyway.

  2. On Fedora, the [`qt5-qtwayland`](https://fedora.pkgs.org/34/fedora-x86_64/qt5-qtwayland-5.15.2-4.fc34.x86_64.rpm.html) package is required:
  - with `qt5-qtwayland` installed:
  ```

    ACK 5559cf1460c98eb6998d99784f27de85f95f14d0 - I don't think there's any harm to point this out in our Linux build docs. It's not changing our binaries or dependencies in any way.
