guix: add bitcoin-qt runtime libs doc in symbol-check
libfreetype and libfontconfig are our two remaining runtime libs for
bitcoin-qt. According to #29977 Ubuntu 22.04 should be considered the
baseline for what is supported. Document that.
Closes #29977.
What changed, and why it matters
This commit only adds documentation comments to a build script. It lists which versions of two graphics-related system libraries (libfontconfig and libfreetype) are expected on Ubuntu 22.04 for the Bitcoin Qt wallet application. No code behavior was changed, so there is no security issue in this patch itself.
No action needed. This is a documentation-only change with no security relevance.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The change is a pure documentation addition in contrib/guix/symbol-check.py. It inserts a comment block under a new ‘bitcoin-qt’ section noting that Ubuntu 22.04 is the baseline and documenting the expected library versions for libfontconfig (2.13.1) and libfreetype (2.11.1). The actual MAX_VERSIONS dictionary and all executable logic remain untouched.
