a759ea3e92 doc: Improve dependencies documentation (Nicola Leonardo Susca)

Pull request description:

  Initially there was a distinction between the compiler dependencies and
  other required dependencies (refs https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/23565) but the distinction was
  removed (refs https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/24585) which is why having two distinct tables could lead
  to confusion now.
