add --syncdeps to install missing PKGBUILD dependencies

[njfox]

The AUR CI workflow was failing due to new dependencies being added to the PKGBUILD but not the Github action. This PR adds the --syncdeps flag to automatically install any missing dependencies from the PKGBUILD when building the package.

Note this AUR CI failure is expected as #1973 hasn't been merged yet to remove the deprecated fmt::localtime API:

 /usr/include/time.h:136:19: note:   ‘localtime’
src/gui/gui.cc:2425:61: error: ‘localtime’ is not a member of ‘fmt’
 2425 |                                                        fmt::localtime(version.timestamp)));
      |                                                             ^~~~~~~~~
