Remove spurious TODO in debian install step (#17749)
This was a note added in the PR to move to AGPL, which we failed to
remove before landing.

(The context for this was that we needed to decide if we were going to
change which debian repository we published too, but decided not to in
the end)

Add Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Rocky Linux installation instructions (#17423)
Added RHEL/Rocky install instructions (PyPI). Instructions cover
versions 8 and 9 which are the only supported ones - except for RHEL7
which is now on extended life cycle support phase.

Large part of the guide is for installing Python 3.11 or 3.12. RHEL8
ships with Python 3.6 and RHEL9 ships with 3.9. Newer Python versions
can be installed easily as they don't interfere with OS software that
still relies on the default Python version.

I was first planning to add prerequisites part to the prerequisites
section and then install instructions on the top of the page but that
section is for pre-built packages so it just didn't sound right. So I
just dumped everything to the PyPI section of the page. But suggestions
to change are welcome.

I also didn't combine these with Fedora section. I haven't tested those
packages on RHEL and Fedora ships with Python 3.12 out-of-box.

Docs: Use something other than the document name to describe a page (#10399)
Our documentation has a history of using a document's name as a way to link to it, such as "See [workers.md]() for details". This makes sense when you're traversing a directory of files, but less sense when the files are abstracted away - as they are on the documentation website.

This PR changes the links to various documentation pages to something that fits better into the surrounding sentence, as you would when making any hyperlink on the web.
