Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#22631: doc: Add packages that provide Qt Wayland plugin for Linux
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.

It's not changing our binaries or dependencies in any way.
