Goodbye Miscellaneous Dependencies Package

NVDA has quite a few dependencies. Some of these have nice installers, but others are very small or aren't readily available in the form we need for some reason or another. Therefore, for people running from source, we previously bundled all of these dependencies into a single, convenient "miscellaneous dependencies" package. Unfortunately, this is rather tedious for us to maintain. Most of these dependencies rarely ever change, making updating the whole package for every change rather pointless. Therefore, the miscellaneous dependencies package is no more. Instead, dependencies.txt in the root of the code repository has been renamed to readme.txt and provides an in-depth description of all of the required dependencies, as well as instructions for preparing, running and building the source code. Pre-built versions of some of the dependencies are still provided where they are difficult to obtain or build, as described in the readme. Please let me know if I've missed anything!
