Documentation+Meta: Include PulseAudio by default and add missing Qt6 packages - #11111

Conversation
Nearly everyone building Ladybird wants audio, so listing the PulseAudio development files as an optional extra just leaves people with a silent browser. Fold them into the main install command for every platform that can use the backend, and add them to the distributions that never mentioned audio at all: Fedora, Void Linux and FreeBSD. macOS and Windows are untouched, as `audio.cmake` picks AudioUnit and WASAPI there without ever probing for libpulse. The CMake side is unchanged: libpulse is still detected with `pkg_check_modules()`, so building without it keeps working.

contents.

`UI/Qt` requires the `Positioning` component on all non-Apple platforms and the private Qt headers on Linux. Only the Debian/Ubuntu list carried `Positioning`, and no list carried the private headers, so following the instructions to the letter left CMake unable to configure. Arch ships the private headers in `qt6-base`, and FreeBSD does not need them. Where a private headers package pulls in the regular development package, the latter is no longer listed separately. Fixes LadybirdBrowser#11084
