Since 3.13, Memgraph ships one DEB and one RPM package that run on any Linux distribution with glibc 2.31 or newer. This PR replaces the six distro pages (Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS, Fedora, Rocky, Red Hat) with one Linux page.

  • DEB and RPM install sections; start, stop, configuration and troubleshooting written once. Distro-specific notes are kept: Debian without sudo, SELinux on Red Hat, older Python on CentOS 9.
  • DEB installs with apt instead of dpkg, so dependencies come with the package (also on the WSL page). New Configure the system section (open files, vm.max_map_count) and a way to run without systemd.
  • States the glibc 2.31 requirement (with ldd --version) instead of per-distro version lists. Direct download links explains glibc with a few current releases as examples.
  • Redirects for the old pages and their .md versions; links updated; check-release step 11 names the new page.

WSL keeps its own page.

Since 3.13 there is one DEB and one RPM package that run on any Linux
with glibc 2.31 or newer, so Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS, Fedora, Rocky and
Red Hat no longer need their own pages. The new Linux page has a DEB
and an RPM section, shared start/stop/configuration and troubleshooting,
and states the glibc requirement instead of per-distro versions. Old
URLs redirect; check-release step 11 names the new page.

Mostly looks good, a few changes on the linux installation page would be good 💪

Use apt instead of dpkg on the Linux and WSL pages so dependencies install
with the package, drop sudo from the downloads, add running without systemd
and a Configure the system section, and explain glibc on direct download links.
