Documentation: Update Debian dependency list
Apparently, qemu-system-* changed its name. On Debian/Ubuntu, genext2fs does not make a difference: The only user of this command, Meta/build-image-qemu.sh, runs as root anyway, and tries to do 'mount _disk_image mnt/' first. Debian/Ubuntu always have drivers for ext2 available, so this command has no good reason to fail, and trying to use genext2fs might only obscure any problems that mount encountered. Finally, Debian Bullseye (released 2021-08-14) contains gcc-10, so the instructions on how to upgrade are now obsolete.

On Debian your system must be on the _testing_ or _unstable_ branch as gcc 10 is not available on _stable_ or in the backports. If you want to switch from _stable_ to _testing_, see the instructions on the Debian website on [switching to testing](https://wiki.debian.org/DebianTesting). Alternatively, if you want to stay on _stable_, you can build SerenityOS in a Debian testing or Ubuntu [Docker](https://www.docker.com/) container.
