            Weaken optional dependencies from Requires to Recommends

Per Fedora packaging guidelines, packages that provide optional
functionality should be Recommends, not Requires. The DE starts and
runs correctly without all four:

- 'gnome-backgrounds' (~38 MiB): extra wallpaper choices; the default
  wallpaper ships in 'desktop-backgrounds-basic' which remains Requires
- 'gucharmap' (~8 MiB): single context-menu item in the keyboard applet
  for character lookup; the applet works without it
- 'wget' (~3 MiB): used by the sound applet to download remote album
  art; playback and all other sound controls work without it
- 'cups-client' (~180 KiB): used by the printer settings panel; the DE
  functions normally on systems without printers configured
