support fedora in kernel header install script

[tsloughter]

Description:

Fixes #261 by supporting fedora in the kernel header install script

Link to tracking Issue:

#261

Testing:

Working on manual testing, currently stuck trying to build opentelemetry-ebpf-build-tools because it "freezes" on Cloning into '/home/tristan/Devel/opentelemetry-ebpf-build-tools/gcp_cpp/google-cloud-cpp'...

I was also going to add to the CI tests but was getting confused hoping around shell scripts. If anyone can help explain what needs to be updated there I'd be happy to add fedora to the distros tested against if its desired.

Documentation:

None. It doesn't appear there are any docs about what hosts are supported, so if wanted I can add a list of supported distros to https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-network/blob/main/docs/kernel-collector.md, not sure if anywhere else would be appropriate to add that info?

Could the problem be related to this issue?

Yes! It's important enough to add to the main project README, IMO. Happy to review a PR!

@samiura @atoulme any pointers you can share?

I took a look at the Github Actions result for this branch, looks like it is indeed similar to the problem in #256

Alright, will do!

Hey there! I faced a similar problem with freezing while building the build-env on fedora. I've had 2 problems when building:
The first one may be relevant if you are using docker desktop. I had to swap from the "linux-desktop" (or somesuch, it had "linux" in the name) to just "docker" in the builder settings. Docker desktop defaults to this builder and you have to switch manually in the app and run systemctl start docker. I have no idea why, but it resolved the issue for me.

The second one was that I just ran out of RAM. My system has 32 gigs and I had to mount additional swap memory for it to be able to handle the build (it took about 9 more gigs of swap at most).

Hope this can help you with getting it running @tsloughter !
