docs: note webkitgtk-6.0 runtime requirement for running releases

The release binary dynamically links libwebkitgtk-6.0 and libgtk-4, neither of which ships in the tarball or gets installed by install_linux.sh, and webkitgtk-6.0 is not preinstalled on most distros. Tell runners up front which runtime package to install (Arch/Debian-Ubuntu names verified) and what the missing-.so launch error looks like.
