Add Dependency Package Names / Commands To Docs/Readme

First of all, thank you for this awesome program. It works so much better than WINE's overdrive app on linux.
Just one small suggestion (you don't need to do it but it might help some people). For the 'Prerequisites' section, add this to make it easier for people to figure out the actual package names to install. Another idea is to list one liner commands for each major OS (mac, windows, debian, red hat, arch, etc)
- curl
- uuidgen (uuid-runtime)
- xmllint (libxml2-utils)
- iconv (libc6-dev)
- openssl
- base64 (cl-base64)
- tidy
Good idea :) Same general issue as PR #20, which I've been holding off on because it seems like a lot of overhead for a single shell script, but this doesn't incur much more complexity. I just added a table to https://github.com/chbrown/overdrive#prerequisites — lmk (preferably with a PR!) if you have a one-liner for Red Hat / Fedora / CentOS (I don't have a handy VM running that flavor) or even Windows (though in that case wouldn't people just use WSL?)
Btw I used libc-bin instead of libc6-dev (for iconv) and coreutils instead of cl-base64 (for base64), which seem more standard?
