Description

gstreamermm is no longer required to build OrcaSlicer on Arch-like systems
gstreamermm no longer exists in the Arch repos: https://archlinux.org/packages/?sort=&q=gstreamermm
running ./build_linux.sh -u on Arch-like systems fails with error: target not found: gstreamermm

This commit removes the unnecessary dependency.

Tests

Before:

❯ ./build_linux.sh -u
resolving system dependencies for distribution "arch" ...
Updating linux ...
error: package 'gstreamermm' was not found

After:

❯ ./build_linux.sh -u
resolving system dependencies for distribution "arch" ...
Updating linux ...
done

I've successfully built an run v2.3.1 and v2.3.2-dev many times without the dependency installed.
