Summary

Add a .. seealso:: block at the top of the Build requirements section in Doc/using/configure.rst, pointing readers to the Python Developer's Guide setup and building page.

This matches the direction on gh-67071: cross-link from the official configure documentation rather than duplicating per-distro package lists in CPython (see discussion with @bitdancer and @StanFromIreland).

Checklist

  • Documentation-only change; no code or tests.

Add a seealso at the top of the Build Requirements section so readers
building from source are directed to the devguide for step-by-step setup
and system dependencies, per discussion on the issue.
