NUSGet on Linux with X11 requires xcb-cursor0, this PR adds a note about that to the README under the Linux platform notes. The specific package name for apt is libxcb-cursor0.

I double checked the conditions for the error in #44 on Linux Mint, which runs X11, and that looks to be the issue. I didn't test on any other distro with X11 (works fine with Wayland) so I haven't got a specific package name for other package managers.

I tried installing just plain xcb, but that failed with the same error and only worked with xcb-cursor0 like mentioned in the issue.

Finalizes #44

Hey! Sorry I took so long to reply, I've been a little busy and I also just like... never got a notification for this PR for some reason. Thanks GitHub.

I think that this issue primarily just pops up on Ubuntu and derivatives, so it's probably okay to just name the Ubuntu package for the moment unless I know that it's happening somewhere else too. I looked it up briefly and I don't see an exact equivalent package on Fedora or Arch anyway.

Thanks for the contribution!
