[PATCH] docs: add util-linux-script package for Fedora 42+

[AdrianF]

From: Adrian Freihofer <adrian.freihofer@siemens.com>

Fedora 42 split the script utility from util-linux into a separate
util-linux-script package. This change adds conditional installation
of util-linux-script for Fedora 42 and later versions.
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/util-linux/c/5a2471d6e5b0055cb607b30dc2e9613b312ffb74?branch=rawhide

The package is added conditionally using rpm macro evaluation to
maintain compatibility with older Fedora versions where script was
included in the base util-linux package.

Note that different distributions handle this differently - for example,
Debian provides the script utility in a separate bsdutils package
rather than in util-linux.

Hi Adrian,

I just realized that Fedora 42 is not (yet) part of the supported distributions,
see https://git.yoctoproject.org/meta-yocto/tree/meta-poky/conf/distro/poky.conf#n33.

So it does not really make sense to make this appear here for now. However I'll
keep this patch handy once we add support for it.

Thanks,
Antonin

There is a fedora42 worker present on the autobuilder now:

https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/valkyrie/#/workers

so we probably should update that!

Cheers,
