Jatin K MalikandGitHub af6b372177 fix(install): Fedora and Arch need glslc, not glslang (#763)
* fix(install): Fedora and Arch need glslc, not glslang

ggml's Vulkan CMake looks for glslc and will not take glslangValidator.
install.sh was still installing glslang on Fedora, Arch, Alpine, Void,
Solus, and Gentoo, so the pywhispercpp source build fell back to a CPU
wheel. Ubuntu and Debian already pull glslc plus patchelf.

See #604.

* fix(install): Gentoo patchelf is under dev-util

sys-devel/patchelf does not exist. emerge fails and install.sh exits,
so a fresh Gentoo install never reaches the whisper.cpp build.

See #604.
