Description

We often receive bug reports that ends up being related to a missing system dependency.
Often the stacktrace is not obvious on what's missing.
For instance see:

In order to save developers troubleshooting time, I think we could make some optional system requirements prechecks using e.g. pkg-config and raise a warning detected missing system dependency.
This would be a first approach in tempting to mitigate these issues.
Also at first we could start with a per-recipe specific approach until we find a maybe a more generic way e.g. Recipe.system_dependencies member or something.
