Summary

Changing DNF detection system for futureproofing kickstarter.sh for DNF5

Test Plan

Test by using stock Fedora 41/42 (which has DNF5 by default) and run the script.

Additional Information

kickstarter.sh don't work with Netdata Repository on DNF5 based distro. Instead it falls back into Static Install. The fix changed mechanism from "listing verbose packages detail" to "fetching info of netdata package and detect the repository of the package"

For users: How does this change affect me?
  • Futureproof kickstarter.sh for DNF5.
  • Easier upgrade & better package management/integration with dnf.

P.S. Apparently the Fedora section on the Netdata Agent Versions & Platforms is outdated.

The failing Docker build job on this PR can be ignored, as it’s unrelated to the PR.
