CCExtractor version: 0.88

While trying to build ccextractor following the instructions,I found there were no specific instructions for installing the dependencies on Arch linux.
The dependencies on Arch linux are named differently as arch does not keep -dev/-devel variants separately. As such copying the same command as for debian or RHEL gives errors.

I ended up using the same dependencies listed for RHEL without the "-devel" or "lib" suffixes and prefixes and it seemed to run.
I was able to build and run ccextractor on a .mkv file so far.

The command:

sudo pacman -S glew glfw cmake gcc curl tesseract leptonica

(I would be glad to help test these dependencies, if needed, to make sure they don't break any features.)
If this does work, a doc update would be helpful to any beginners and also add completeness to the build instructions.

@SuvigyaJain1 Feel free to give adding it to the docs yourself a try, we welcome PR's :)

I'm going to close this because we don't use arch (at least I don't), so this would have to be contributed - it's not something we can do ourselves.

I'd expect it's very similar to other distros though?
