doc: add notes about package compatibility

Browse Source 
We need to emphasise that the repmgr packages are only compatible
with packages based on the PGDG filesystem layout; 3rd party vendor
packages often put application and data directories elsewhere.
See e.g. GitHub #427.

Currently, &repmgr; RPM packages are provided for versions 6.x and 7.x of CentOS. These should also
work on matching versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Scientific Linux and Oracle Enterprise Linux;
together with CentOS, these are the same RedHat-based distributions for which the main community project
provides packages (see the <ulink url="https://yum.postgresql.org/">PostgreSQL RPM Building Project</ulink>
(PGDG) provides packages (see the <ulink url="https://yum.postgresql.org/">PostgreSQL RPM Building Project</ulink>
page for details).

It appears Red Hat provides enterprise users with PostgreSQL RPMs with a different
filesystem layout to the community RPMs, in which case the 2ndQuadrant &repmgr; RPM packages
may not be compatible. Please contact your support vendor for assistance.

Note these &repmgr; RPM packages are not designed to work with SuSE/OpenSuSE.

&repmgr; packages are designed to be compatible with community-provided PostgreSQL packages.
They may not work with vendor-specific packages such as those provided by RedHat for RHEL
customers, as the filesystem layout may be different to the community RPMs.
Please contact your support vendor for assistance.
