Describe the change

We maintain developer docs for Debian Stable, which recently (2021-08) transitioned from Debian 10 Buster to Debian 11 Bullseye. Let's run through the dev docs on a Bullseye machine and make any updates as required.

How will this impact users?

Dev-only: the docs should point to the most recent stable version.

Additional context

The libvirt tooling in particular has seen a lot of churn, so make sure to inspect the VM dependencies carefully.

Performed an in-place upgrade from Buster to Bullseye, and took the dev env for a spin. In short, it worked, although I had to bump the dependency for pyenchant in the dev reqs, due to a problem like that reported in freedomofpress/securedrop-docs#218 Other sundry notes:

That's about it. Was able to build debs in containers, provision staging VMs, run Tails VM, and provision prod VMs via Tails VM.

A better test for the dev docs is a clean install, which will take more time. Will only do so if folks find that useful.

Earlier today, @tesitura mentioned she encountered pyenchant problems when setting up the dev env on Debian 11. I'll push a branch with a small change and ask her to test, in order to unblock her.

While testing the dev env on Debian 11 Bullseye, was not able to install
the development requirements due to an error on pyenchant. Bumping the
req to a recent version resolved for me.
