Optional components required to build docs aren't documented #18355

Problem

Some optional components are required to get the docs building without warnings. AFAICT, these are not mentioned in the dev docs. These include:

  1. Inkscape
WARNING: Inkscape command 'inkscape' cannot be run. Check the inkscape_converter_bin setting
  1. Fonts
findfont: Font family ['xkcd', 'xkcd Script', 'Humor Sans', 'Comic Neue', 'Comic Sans MS'] not found. Falling back to DejaVu Sans.
  1. Optipng
WARNING: optipng binaries not found, PNG thumbnails and images will not be optimized

Suggested Improvement

Once @jeromefv confirms that I'm not missing anything, I can make a PR to update the docs to contain all this information. They probably don't need to be front and center, since the docs build just fine without these (except maybe Inkscape?) But it'd be nice to have an "optional dependencies" note.
