distro-dependencies: use "libxslt1-dev" instead of "libxslt-dev" (which does not exist)

Ganton requested to merge (removed):master into master

The "libxslt-dev" package unfortunately does not exist in Debian or (K)Ubuntu (as anyone can see 1, 2).

When trying to build Plasma 6 without the package "libxslt1-dev", this was seen:

    -- The following REQUIRED packages have not been found:

    * LibXslt, <http://xmlsoft.org/XSLT>
    Required by the KDE help system to process DocBook XML

    CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-3.28/Modules/FeatureSummary.cmake:464 (message):
    feature_summary() Error: REQUIRED package(s) are missing, aborting CMake
    run.

After executing:

    $ dpkg -l | grep libxslt
    ii  libxslt1.1:amd64                                         1.1.39-0exp1build1                          amd64        XSLT 1.0 processing library - runtime library
    $ sudo apt install libxslt1-dev

the compilation continued.

Note: To see similar packages, that page and that one can be seen.
