The README's "Installation and Usage" section only covered Ansible and Docker. On Enterprise Linux and Fedora, node_exporter is packaged in EPEL as golang-github-prometheus-node-exporter (EPEL 7, 8 and 9), which several users find easier than a manual install. Add a short "Linux distribution packages" subsection documenting it, including the EL9 systemd service name. Closes prometheus#2160 Signed-off-by: Aman Raj <aman.yug@gmail.com>

Description
The README "Installation and Usage" section only documented Ansible and Docker. As requested in #2160, this adds a short "Linux distribution packages" subsection documenting the EPEL package install path on Enterprise Linux and Fedora.
The package (
golang-github-prometheus-node-exporter, available in EPEL 7/8/9) and the EL9 systemd service name (prometheus-node-exporter) were both confirmed by maintainers/users in the issue thread. Maintainer @discordianfish said he was happy to merge a PR for this.Closes #2160
