Bruno Thomsen requested to merge bth2/gitlab-runner:update_supported_fedora_list into main

What does this MR do?

Update list of supported Fedora versions based on official Fedora Project documentation.

Why was this MR needed?

Provide better Podman (docker/container) runner support on Fedora Linux.

What's the best way to test this MR?

See that Fedora 36 is detect correctly in RPM repository setup script.

Start container with Fedora Linux 36:

podman run --rm -it registry.fedoraproject.org/fedora:36 /bin/bash

Test Gitlab runner setup script:

https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/install/linux-repository.html#installing-gitlab-runner

curl -L "https://packages.gitlab.com/install/repositories/runner/gitlab-runner/script.rpm.sh" | sudo bash

After update we should get /etc/yum.repos.d/runner_gitlab-runner.repo and not this error message:

This usually happens if your operating system is not supported by 
packagecloud.io, or this script's OS detection failed.

You can override the OS detection by setting os= and dist= prior to running this script.
You can find a list of supported OSes and distributions on our website: https://packages.gitlab.com/docs#os_distro_version

For example, to force CentOS 6: os=el dist=6 ./script.sh

If you are running a supported OS, please email support@packagecloud.io and report this.
