Keep the Linux build free of curl, WebKitGTK and extra X11 packages

Browse source 
JUCE_USE_CURL defaults to 1 on Linux, so juce_core compiled
juce_Network_curl.cpp and included <curl/curl.h>. Nothing linked libcurl
(NEEDS_CURL was off), but its development headers were still a hard build
requirement. Set JUCE_USE_CURL=0 and pin NEEDS_CURL/NEEDS_WEB_BROWSER to
FALSE alongside the existing JUCE_WEB_BROWSER=0.

X11's Xrandr/Xinerama/Xshm/Xcursor headers are only dlsym()ed at runtime, but
live in separate -dev packages on Arch/Artix. Probe each with
check_include_file_cxx and define the JUCE_USE_* flags accordingly, so a
distro carrying just libX11 still builds.

Also check alsa/freetype2/fontconfig up front with a distro-specific hint
instead of letting JUCE's raw pkg-config error surface, and expand the
README's Linux section to cover all of it.

### Linux / Artix note (no GTK or WebKitGTK headers required) ### Linux / Artix note (no GTK, WebKitGTK, curl or GTK file selector needed)
The plugin **does not depend on GTK or WebKitGTK developer headers**, so it Gelyk builds on minimal/headless-flavored distros such as **Artix** without any
builds cleanly on minimal/headless-flavored distros such as **Artix** - no of the usual JUCE baggage: no `webkit2gtk`, `gtk3`, `libsoup`, `jsc`, `libcurl`
`webkit2gtk`, `gtk3`-devel, `libsoup` or `jsc` packages needed. or file-selector development packages. This is pinned in `CMakeLists.txt`:
This is guaranteed in `CMakeLists.txt`:
```cmake ```cmake
target_compile_definitions(GelykEQ PRIVATE JUCE_WEB_BROWSER=0) NEEDS_CURL FALSE # juce_add_plugin: never link libcurl
NEEDS_WEB_BROWSER FALSE # juce_add_plugin: never link WebKitGTK
target_compile_definitions(GelykEQ PRIVATE
JUCE_WEB_BROWSER=0
JUCE_USE_CURL=0
)
``` ```
JUCE's Linux `FileChooser` in JUCE 8 no longer links GTK either - it shells out - **`JUCE_WEB_BROWSER=0`** removes `WebBrowserComponent` from the compile, which
to `zenity`/`kdialog` at runtime, and Gelyk never opens a native file dialog. is the only thing in `juce_gui_extra` that `#include`s `<gtk/gtk.h>`,
Disabling `JUCE_WEB_BROWSER` removes the WebKitGTK-backed `WebBrowserComponent` `<webkit2/webkit2.h>`, `<jsc/jsc.h>` and `<libsoup/soup.h>`.
(which Gelyk does not use), eliminating the entire GTK/WebKit include chain. - **`JUCE_USE_CURL=0`** matters just as much. JUCE's Linux default is `1`, which
makes `juce_core` `#include <curl/curl.h>` and compile `juce_Network_curl.cpp`.
Nothing would *link* libcurl (`NEEDS_CURL` is `FALSE`), but its **headers**
would still be a hard requirement. Gelyk never touches `URL`/`WebInputStream`,
so nothing is lost.
- **File dialogs are not a GTK dependency.** JUCE 8's Linux `FileChooser` shells
out to `zenity`/`kdialog` at runtime, and Gelyk never opens a native file
dialog anyway.
- X11's multi-monitor/DPI extensions (`Xrandr`, `Xinerama`, `Xshm`, `Xcursor`)
are `dlsym()`ed at runtime by JUCE, so their headers are treated as optional:
`CMakeLists.txt` probes for each and sets `JUCE_USE_XRANDR` / `JUCE_USE_XINERAMA`
/ `JUCE_USE_XSHM` / `JUCE_USE_XCURSOR` accordingly. A distro carrying just
`libX11` still builds, minus multi-monitor reporting.
What *is* still required is JUCE's own Linux baseline, checked at configure time
with a helpful error instead of a raw pkg-config failure:
| pkg-config | Arch / Artix | Debian / Ubuntu |
|------------|-------------------------|--------------------------------|
| `alsa` | `alsa-lib` | `libasound2-dev` |
| `freetype2`| `freetype2` | `libfreetype6-dev` |
| `fontconfig` | `fontconfig` | `libfontconfig1-dev` |
| X11 headers| `libx11` (`libxext` for `Xshm`) | `libx11-dev` (`libxext-dev`) |
None of them drag in GTK.
