[DOC] Missing font packages for Chromium (post 6.5) leading to "Caught error spawning Chromium" (#29940) (#31509)

Browse source 
It might occur that users hit the `Caught error spawning Chromium` error.
This is usually linked to missing font packages on the system.

This sub-list has been extracted from [the puppeteer troubleshooting page](https://github.com/GoogleChrome/puppeteer/blob/master/docs/troubleshooting.md) and as a follow up of the issue https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/28123

Let me know if I should review the package list or the text.
I might also add directions on how to check Chromium debug logs if necessary.
