packaging: pull GStreamer capture stack into .deb runtime deps

Browse Source 
pixelpass invokes the GStreamer tools and pactl as subprocesses, not as
linked libraries, so dpkg-shlibdeps (`depends = "$auto"`) never sees them.
On a fresh Ubuntu host that means `deps::check_host_binaries` bails before
the host emits its ticket — peerspeak then reports the generic "pixelpass
host exited before emitting a ticket" (first 2-human field hit, 2026-06-26).

List the runtime stack explicitly so `apt install ./pixelpass.deb` pulls in
gstreamer1.0-{tools,plugins-base,plugins-good,plugins-bad,plugins-ugly,libav,
pipewire,pulseaudio}, pulseaudio-utils and x11-utils. Recommends mpv.
