docs: Improve runtime dependencies section
This adds mention of `xdg-desktop-portal` since if it's not installed libsecret will fallback to the
talking directly to SecretService which will fail inside flatpak.

Fractal doesn't store your **password** but uses [Secret
Service](https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/secret-storage-spec/)
to store your **access token** and **passphrase** used to encrypt the local cache.
Therefore, you need to have software providing that service on your system.
-If you're using GNOME this should work for you out of the box and gnome-keyring or ksecretservice
-should already be installed and setup.
+If you're using GNOME this should work. If you are using a different desktop enviroment or are facing issues
make sure to have `xdg-desktop-portal` installed and a [Secret
Service](https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/secret-storage-spec/) provider, for example
`gnome-keyring` or KeepassXC ([setup guide](https://avaldes.co/2020/01/28/secret-service-keepassxc.html)).
