33b0b26 doc: note that brew installed qt is not supported (Raul Siles)

Pull request description:

  picking up bitcoin#21791, the author has stated they [cannot squash](bitcoin#21791 (comment)).

  This is a useful note to prevent any issues from being opened up about this. The reason that both cannot co-exist and build bitcoin is stated [here](bitcoin#21791 (comment)):
  > ... the reason is sharing /usr/local/include/ and /usr/local/lib/ directories by both qt5 and qt6 installations.

  Changes from original PR:
  - slightly move the note up in this section, this placement seems more appropriate to me
  - drop "Note:"

brew install qt@5
```

Ensure that the `qt@5` package is installed, not the `qt` package.
If 'qt' is installed, the build process will fail.
if installed, remove the `qt` package with the following command:

``` bash
brew uninstall qt
```

Note: Building with Qt binaries downloaded from the Qt website is not officially supported.
