doc: add minimum required kernel version to dependencies.md
This matches the version of the kernel targeted when we build the glibcs
we use for release builds in Guix. Other versions / scenerios may
work, but for documentation purposes, this is the version that makes
sense to document, and something we can claim to officially support.
