distro-dependencies: add libdisplay-info-dev, libxcb-dri3-dev and libxcb-xinput-dev for kwin

Ganton requested to merge (removed):work/ganton/add_kwin_dependencies into master

When trying to build Plasma 6 without the package "libxcb-dri3-dev", this was seen (about kwin):

# kde-builder running: 'ninja' '-j' '10'
# from directory:  /home/user/kde/build/kwin
# with environment:  /home/user/kde/build/kwin/kde-builder.env
[0/2] Re-checking globbed directories...
ninja: error: '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxcb-dri3.so', needed by 'src/CMakeFiles/kwin_autogen_timestamp_deps', missing and no known rule to make it

After executing:

    sudo apt install -y libxcb-dri3-dev

the compilation could continue.
