This PR updates the install.rst. It adds the following:

The system requirements are based on personal experience and https://gpu.userbenchmark.com comparisions. Just comment if you have any more input on this.

Been able to run Vircadia on a Radeon Vega 8 which is technically faster then a Radeon 8730M but slightly slower then a standard Radeon 8730

My mobile Core i5 that was dual-core was able to run a post 80 High Fidelity build, I haven't tried with Vircadia since it's now running Manjaro Linux and the AppImage wasn't agreeing with me. But if it is still the case that it can run on that, then maybe we can change that to dual-core once more.

But I do understand that Vircadia is very much CPU dependent, so a fast CPU makes a world of difference in terms of smoothness at higher settings.

Reason I didn't put dual cores in was that my dual core cpu with hyperthreading wasn't not able to load into the hub. If you have a much more powerful dual core cpu with hyperthreading it might work, but that doesn't seem very realistic as anything high performance will have more than two cores anyways. And while the hub hogs a lot of cpu, it is very likely that someone building a domain without a lot of technical know how will also hog a lot of cpu like that.
