Document future Debian/Ubuntu build time dependency in README (!121) 

When preparing the GParted Live 1.6.0 distribution, which is based on
Debian unstable ("sid"), compiling GParted failed like this:
    $ make
    ...
    /usr/bin/msgfmt --desktop --template gparted.desktop.in -d ./po -o gparted.desktop
    chmod +x gparted
    /usr/bin/msgfmt --xml --template org.gnome.gparted.policy.in -d ./po -o org.gnome.gparted.policy
    /usr/bin/msgfmt: cannot locate ITS rules for org.gnome.gparted.policy.in
    make[3]: *** [Makefile:1060: org.gnome.gparted.policy] Error 1
    make[3]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

    status 2

This was also previously reported in the GParted Forum [1].  Future
Debian 13 ("trixie") and Ubuntu 24.04 LTS ("nobel") releases have moved
the needed gettext translation rules for .policy XML files:
    /usr/share/gettext/its/policy.its
    /usr/share/gettext/its/policy.loc
to new package libpolkit-gobject-1-dev not installed by default.
Document this new build time dependency.

Also see commits [2][3] where the equivalent change was needed in the
Alpine Linux and CentOS continuous integration images.
