Within the GNU/Linux distribution specific installation guides, the "Set
up Icinga DB" section was only excluded for openSUSE. However, since
there is an openSUSE installation guide within Icinga DB[^0], this is
not consistent. Thus, the if-guard was removed, resulting in this
section being available for each distribution. Windows is already
excluded through an if-guard above.
Some cases for Fedora were missing, which were also added.

With Fedora 41, DNF was upgraded to version 5, breaking the command line
API of "dnf config-manager"[^0]. Unfortunately, DNF 5's addrepo does not
work with a simple URL anymore, but requires to construct a .repo file.
Furthermore, no information about trusting the Icinga signing key was
available, resulting in one being unable to install packages. This was
already the case for Fedora 40, still using DNF 4.
Since we are building Icinga DB for Fedora, I have included Icinga DB
documentation for Fedora. Otherwise, this section was empty.
Finally, the icingadb-redis-selinux package was mentioned for
distributions were we started to build SELinux packages for[^1].

The installation documentation currently implies that all commands are
being prompted by the root user or an user with root-like privileges.
This is now explicitly stated and, additionally, another if-guard was
added to not include the "Add Icinga Package Repository" section for
Windows, as it does not fit there.
Closes#9959.
Almost every Icinga 2 node setup requires the Icinga 2 API, as Icinga
Web connects to it, Icinga DB requires it, and although it's not clearly
mentioned anywhere in the documentation at the moment, it enables the
cluster communication functionality.
We are using a central DB-Cluster, therefor Icinga2 got a database on this remote cluster.
We used the icinga DB user, created during the step before, to import the DB schema.
For this, the additional GRANT options `ALTER` and `CREATE` where needed to install the schema successfully via:
```bash
mysql -u icinga -p icinga < /usr/share/icinga2-ido-mysql/schema/mysql.sql
```
Someone may find this a security problem. But I see two benefits:
* these GRANT options are only set for the icinga.* database
* this setup allows to execute also all later UPGRADE commands as the database user `icinga` - and not as the DB Administrator.
Two additional notes:
* I also included a small warning about the used default DB password
* sadly, I have no way to change this also in the provided mariadb-centos7.png image, so this is left unchanged at the moment
Removed rhel-8-server-optional-rpms, as it is not/no longer available for RHEL 8

> BaseOS and AppStream contain all software packages, which were available in extras and optional repositories before.
Debian switched to MariaDB in stretch and removed the mysql-server and
mysql-client packages in buster. The new mariadb packages are available
starting in Debian jessie.
