Review CentOS/RHEL packages instructions

Edit "OpenStack packages for RHEL and CentOS" considering which
releases are now supported:
	- Add table for OS compatibility info
	- Moved instructions relative to EOL OS or OS which only
	feat unmaintained OpenStack releases
	- Add TOC limited to depth 3 because Contributor Guide/RST
  	conventions/Titles limits heading levels

To choose which OpenStack release to install, `check the release page
<https://releases.openstack.org/>`_.
CentOS Stream
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* On CentOS Stream, the ``extras`` repository provides the RPM that enables the
OpenStack repository. CentOS includes the ``extras`` repository by
default, so you can simply install the package to enable the OpenStack
repository:
.. code-block:: console
# ### CentOS Stream 9
# dnf install centos-release-openstack-<release>
# ### So for example
# ### Zed
# dnf install centos-release-openstack-zed
# ### 2023.1 Antelope
# dnf install centos-release-openstack-antelope
# ### 2023.2 Bobcat
# dnf install centos-release-openstack-bobcat
RHEL
~~~~
* On RHEL, download and install the RDO repository RPM to enable the
OpenStack repository.
.. code-block:: console
# ### RHEL 9
# dnf install https://www.rdoproject.org/repos/rdo-release.el9.rpm
**The RDO repository RPM installs the latest available OpenStack release.**
Finalize the installation
-------------------------
1. Upgrade the packages on all nodes:
.. code-block:: console
# dnf upgrade
.. note::
If the upgrade process includes a new kernel, reboot your host
to activate it.
2. Install the appropriate OpenStack client for your version.
.. code-block:: console
# ### EL9
# dnf install python3-openstackclient
3. RHEL and CentOS enable :term:`SELinux` by default. Install the
``openstack-selinux`` package to automatically manage security
policies for OpenStack services:
.. code-block:: console
# ### EL9
# dnf install openstack-selinux
