Description

Add a dependency installation script for Gentoo Linux to the scripts/linux.d/ directory.

The script automates the installation of required development libraries using emerge and includes logic to:

Check for and install portage-utils (required for package querying).
Automatically detect and install the available/preferred version of webkit-gtk (4.x or 4.1).
Identify and skip packages that are already installed to avoid adding them to the package world file.
Set up necessary environment variables for GTK3 detection.

Motivation and Context

Gentoo users could not use the build_linux.sh script, until now.

How Has This Been Tested?

Verified on a Gentoo system.
Tested the package detection logic to ensure it correctly identifies installed vs. missing dependencies.
Verified that webkit-gtk version switching works as expected.

Screenshots (if appropriate):

N/A (CLI Script)

Types of changes

New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
