Merge #10779: Create dependencies.md
e91b96192 Create dependencies.md, and link dependencies file from README & build docs (flack)

Pull request description:

  As @fanquake mentioned in #8639, this should probably be a file in `doc/`, so I went ahead and pulled the issue text via the github API and dumped it into a file. No modifications made, except one spelling fix. This makes the info easier to find, and it will get a proper version history, too.

dd34570c45 doc: Improve windows build instructions using Linux subsystem
I did a build on a windows 10 laptop and took notes, and tried
to improve the document:

- It's the Linux subsystem for Windows, not the other way around.

- Split out dependencies: general ones, 64-bit, 32-bit. Remove the
  reference to `build-unix.md`, easy enough to be self-contained.

- Place 64-bit instructions first. 99% will want these.

- Installation instructions: recommend using `/` for prefix, same as we
  do on gitian builds. This will allow copying the files to a usable
  (from Windows) place using just `make DESTDIR=...`.

- Remove double spaces / consistent width reformatting.

7c1716f65d Documentation for Building on Windows with WSL
The new Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) allows a user to run a bash shell directly on Windows in an Ubuntu based environment.  This can be used to cross-compile Bitcoin directly on Windows without the need for a separate Linux VM or Server.  The instructions included in this commit explain how to configure the environment and build Bitcoin Core using this new feature.
