Mixxx build fails in misleading ways if libqt5x11extras5-dev not installed

[Owen Williams]

I was doing a build and I got messages from scons that I was missing a lot of libraries, like "libshout not installed", even though they definitely were there. When looking at the config.log, the real problem was that libqt5x11extras5-dev was not installed. We should check for that explicitly early on in the dependency checking to avoid the misleading error messages.

Using conf.CheckLib to check for it then throw an exception instead of
adding it to LIBS w/ env.Append would fix the issue
