docs: update build-environment for the kde-neon and kde-neon-6 extensions
Metadata
Current evaluation
Docs task to split kde-neon and kde-neon-6 build-environment sections into core22/core24 subsections. Triaged by maintainer 557 days ago; docs still show only core24 values, so the work remains unaddressed.
Suggested action: keep open
Reason: The issue was triaged by maintainer mr-cal and the underlying code (kde_neon_6.py) still branches on base to select different SDK snaps, so the docs gap is real. However, no activity in ~17 months and the only comment is a Jira-sync bot, so it has been deprioritised.

Issue body
### What needs to get done
Split the [build-environments](https://canonical-snapcraft.readthedocs-hosted.com/en/latest/reference/extensions/kde-neon-extensions.html#included-build-environment-variables) for kde-neon and kde-neon-6 into core22 and core24 subsections.
### Why it needs to get done
#5261 and #5271 now have a different build-environment, depending if the snap is using a core22 and core24 base.
