    Mentioning BDB is for legacy wallets would be beneficial

    I like the idea of moving sections talking about descriptor wallets (about adding support and compiling) before legacy wallets because:

    1. We want to encourage users to build a descriptor wallet over the legacy wallet. And talking about descriptor wallet first is one way to do so.
    2. It maintains consistency with other updated documentation, prioritized for the descriptor wallet over the legacy wallet.

    I verified that:

    1. Links for FreeBSD and descriptor wallet direct to the correct webpage and documentation, respectively.
    2. The code corresponding to installing db5 and compiling descriptor wallet and GUI (a move-only change) is correct.
