Merge #12306: Docs: Improvements to UNIX documentation
ee5e896 Organise Linux build instructions to be categorised by distro (Alex Vear)
4c85517 Add NetBSD build instruction links (Alex Vear)

Pull request description:

  * Added references to the newly created [`doc/build-netbsd.md`] (#12294) instructions in the [`doc/README.md`] and the [`doc/build-unix.md`] files.
  * Organise [`doc/build-unix.md`] dependency build instructions by Linux distribution. This will help discoverability of dependency build instructions for specific distros. Future instructions will also be able to be added easier.

  I am not quite sure about the FreeBSD instructions being in the [`doc/build-unix.md`], while both the OpenBSD and NetBSD instructions are contained within separate files ([`doc/build-openbsd.md`] and [`doc/build-netbsd.md`] respectively).

  Feedback is greatly appreciated. 😄
