d1fdc84c54934931c3f49204a688e43458af94dd doc: Remove Linux Kernel from dep. table (Nicola Leonardo Susca)

Pull request description:

  Small improvements to the `dependencies.md` documentation as a follow-up for #31634.

  **Linux Kernel** does not need to be in the dependencies as it is not required for cross-compiling from other systems, and users building on Linux should not expect they can build using any EOL kernel, see: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/31634#discussion_r1957123270

  **Runtime dependencies** can be in a separate table to improve readability. See: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/31634#issuecomment-2589412550

  **Version used** is redundant as the depends package definition is already linked in the table and can thus be removed, see: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/31895#discussion_r2063356972

# Dependencies
These are the dependencies used by Bitcoin Core.
You can find installation instructions in the `build-*.md` file for your platform.
"Runtime" and "Version Used" are both in reference to the release binaries.
You can find installation instructions in the `/doc/build-*.md` file for your platform, or self-compile
them using [depends](/depends/README.md).
