[PATCH] README.rst: remove unnecessary dependency for qcam

From: Quentin Schulz <quentin.schulz at cherry.de>

The introducing commit (dff416a84b78 ("README: Add missing package for
Qt5 tools"); for Qt 5 originally) stated that without the dependency we
would get the following messages:

    Program /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/bin/lrelease found: NO
    Program lrelease-qt5 found: NO
    Program lrelease found: NO found  but need: '== 5.14.2'

That is still the case but this actually is neither breaking the build
nor is it doing anything to the outcome of the build as qcam is bit to
bit identical with and without that package.

Therefore, let's not mislead users to install an unnecessary package.

This was tested within a debian:bookworm container with and without the
package, checked out both at master and introducing commit. qcam is bit
to bit identical in both cases.
