Application.pm if cmake fails for a module, suggest "Possible solution: apt build-dep"

Raresh Rus requested to merge (removed):work/nmariusp/possible_solution into master 
Notice the section "Possible solution:" below.
I think that this section will help people which start using kdesrc-build.

The kdesrc-build output (when modules fail to build because of CMake issues) now looks like:

"$ kdesrc-build kpat krfb --no-src --no-include-dependencies
...
Building krfb from kdenetwork (1/2)

        Preparing build system for krfb.

        Old build system cleaned, starting new build system.

<<<  PACKAGES FAILED TO BUILD  >>>

kpat - file:///home/n/kde/src/log/2022-10-28-03/kpat/cmake.log

Possible solution: Install the build dependencies for the modules:
krfb, kpat.
Using 'sudo apt build-dep <source_package>', 'sudo dnf builddep <package>' or similar.
See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Build_from_source/Install_the_dependencies

Important notification for krfb:

    You can check https://build.kde.org/search/?q=krfb to see if this is expected.

    You can check https://build.kde.org/search/?q=kpat to see if this is expected.
