Display software dependencies #55

Currently software dependencies are only temporarily displayed in the SC after clicking the Install button. I understand that it is important to keep the SC interface as simple and accessible as possible and adding this should not compromise the user experience in any way.

I think the best way to realize this is through a subtle Details button at the bottom of the SC window. You could perhaps consider merging the Website button into such a Details button to avoid cluttering it with too many buttons. If you opt for two buttons, then I would simply label the additional button Dependencies. Clicking a button could slide in the information similar to how it is visually displayed when clicking About > Credits in gedit, for example.

Maybe a quick summary using the eopkg info command would suffice
