Subject: [PATCH] docs: fix stale README notes, document building without Qt
 (#812)

* docs: fix stale README notes, document building without Qt

- Use the current issue template name, Game Emulation Status Report
  (renamed in 027433f).
- Raise the documented Windows CMake minimum from 3.12 to 3.22.1, which
  the bundled SPIRV-Tools requires.
- Note that -DKYTY_BUILD_LAUNCHER=OFF builds kyty_emulator and the
  regression tests without Qt (#193).

* docs: add Qt-free Linux build commands

 time.
