doc: Mention that BerkeleyDB is for legacy wallet in build-unix

Browse source 
This updates build-unix for the descriptor wallet, and prepares for
eventual legacy wallet deprecation.

- Move 'descriptor wallet' dependencies above legacy wallet deps both
for Debian and Fedora.
- Explicitly mention 'legacy wallet' where referring to the BerkeleyDB
wallet. Shorten BerkeleyDB instruction to a single paragraph.
