Closes #1501. Documentation only.

docs/getting-started.md:

  • The flutter create . --project-name querya_desktop --platforms=... snippet is gone. The platform folders hold native code of their own, so a template overwrite would damage them; the page now says not to run it and to restore a damaged folder with git checkout -- <folder>.
  • Linux: ./run_linux.sh is the documented way to run (it checks libsecret-1, sets GDK_BACKEND=x11, and passes extra arguments to flutter run); plain flutter run -d linux is mentioned as an alternative, including native Wayland.
  • The Linux build dependencies are listed in full for Debian / Ubuntu and Fedora (clang cmake ninja-build pkg-config libgtk-3-dev libsecret-1-dev and the Fedora equivalents).
  • The Flutter version CI uses (3.47.1 stable, from .github/workflows/ci.yml) is named. I left out the Dart version the issue mentions; it follows from the Flutter release.
