[PATCH] docs: fix openSUSE libelf-devel package name

[PATCH] docs: fix openSUSE libelf-devel package name

[David Disseldorp]

The proposed "zypper install ... libelf-dev" invocation results in an
error:
  'libelf-dev' not found in package names. Trying capabilities.
  No provider of 'libelf-dev' found.

openSUSE and derivitives (Tumbleweed, Leap and SLES) use a "devel"
suffix instead of "dev".
