[RFC] doc: change recommendation for installation of tools on Fedora

[RFC] doc: change recommendation for installation of tools on Fedora

[Stephen Hemminger]

The syntax changed with Fedora 41 and the old command is now:
$ sudo dnf group install development-tools

Not sure what is on RHEL 9 or later.
