Description

We have this dependency data file: https://github.com/dotnet/core/blob/main/release-notes/6.0/runtime-deps.json

We also have the same list of dependencies in markdown: https://github.com/dotnet/core/blob/main/release-notes/6.0/linux-packages.md

The markdown data is stale and incomplete. It would be MUCH better if we had a tool that generated the markdown from the JSON file. That would further motivate us to keep the JSON file up to date.

The tool should simply generate the markdown not do something fancy like update the markdown file itself. There can be a manual copy/paste step for a human. When someone updates the JSON, they should run the tool and update the markdown at the same time.
