Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#21988: doc: note that brew installed qt is not supported
33b0b26a03a401bd39b88931b69d162c3c538d31 doc: note that brew installed qt is not supported (Raul Siles)
Pull request description:
picking up #21791, the author has stated they [cannot squash](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/21791#issuecomment-828770283).
This is a useful note to prevent any issues from being opened up about this. The reason that both cannot co-exist and build bitcoin is stated [here](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/21791#issuecomment-837278123):
> ... the reason is sharing /usr/local/include/ and /usr/local/lib/ directories by both qt5 and qt6 installations.
Changes from original PR:
- slightly move the note up in this section, this placement seems more appropriate to me
- drop "Note:"
