LOG: [lldb][docs] Make it clear that we require SWIG >= 4 (#208687)

We said this in "Preliminaries", but later had a note about SWIG < 4. So
if you hadn't read

We do not, so I've removed the note about < 4 and
added SWIG to the "Optional Dependencies" table
for extra emphasis.

-There is an [incompatibility](https://github.com/swig/swig/issues/1321) between Python version 3.7 and later
-and swig versions older than 4.0.0 which makes builds of LLDB using debug
-versions of python unusable. This primarily affects Windows, as debug builds of

 wide character support, can cause lldb to be linked with an incorrect set of
