doc: bump required Qt/PyQt version to 5.11

According to the following comment, PyQt 5.11 is required for the scoped
enum, and requiring Qt 5.11 (or 5.12 LTS) seems reasonable.

I guess this is OK.  FTR, the Windows and macOS apps are bundled with Qt5.9.9, PyQt5.13.2, and sip 4.19.20.  The scoped enums work there.

I just pip installed on CentOS 7 from contrib/packaging/venv_py3/requirements-centos7.txt.in, and got

>>> from PyQt5.QtCore import *
>>> print(QT_VERSION_STR)
5.12.3
>>> print(PYQT_VERSION_STR)
5.12.2
>>> from PyQt5.sip import *
>>> print(SIP_VERSION_STR)
6.5.1

I've had trouble installing PyQt6 from pypi on Ubuntu 18.04, so maybe there will be systems that PyQt5 won't install on from pypi, but it seems safe if it works on CentOS 7.

Yeah.
