So we can remove the outdated instruction that libkdumpfile should be installed via the AUR. Signed-off-by: Stephen Brennan <[email protected]>
Also update the RHEL/CentOS/OL instructions to build from source. For version 7 (unsure about previous versions) a newer GCC is necessary, so mention devtoolset-12. The installation varies slightly between vendors, and it's not really worth going into too much detail for such an old distro, so just refer users to their distro documentation.

I saw the pull request about Arch Linux installation and wanted to make a few similar updates:
libkdumpfileis now packaged for Arch too, so we can simplify the install steps for building from source there.So I've added steps to install Oracle Linux's officially supported drgn package (no EPEL) as a separate group. Please note that this one does contain the CTF patches downstream -- if you feel strongly about that, I can omit this, or put a warning to let people know that it has vendor modifications.
I also added steps to the documentation about getting debuginfo. I didn't want to take up a ton of space, but OL does have official documentation that covers how to get kernel debuginfo, so I thought we could at least link directly to it.
Also, for building from source, we got some compiler errors on Oracle Linux 7 (and I'm pretty confident they'd be there on RHEL/CentOS 7 too) that are resolved by using a newer compiler version. So I updated that as well.
