[#253] clean up INSTALL.md
- Added `Install` section to group debian and rpm installs. - Re-added `</br>`s -- they're used to break the `_Explanation:_` blocks to the next line. My personal preference is to _not_ use `</br>`s in docs, but i didn't want to change too many things here. - Shortened titles `Add the repo to a Debian ...` and `... Fedora ...` to keep it super concise and decoupled from actual steps - Some formatting best-practices - newlines between markdown blocks - indent code blocks that belong to bullet points to make sure that they are syntatically grouped (i.e. correct markdown 'DOM' hierarchy) - sudo: - Removed `sudo` explanations. `apt/dnf/yum` will not run without, no need to explain. - added `sudo` to RPM instruction code blocks (just those two) for consistency, and also you can't run dnf/yum without root anyway. - Made generic "Fedora based" instructions. Actually YUM/DNF-based, keeping it simple for now. Also name-dropped common distros for SEO/CTRL+F convenience - Removed certain `Explanation` blocks for concision. Some are repeated, and some step titles are already self-explanatory

These network support nodes are heavier than the node a user would establish on their phone in the form of a chat or social media application. A cloud based virtual private server (VPS), such as Digital Ocean Droplets or AWS EC2, with high bandwidth, processing resources, and uptime availability is crucial for building the fast, secure, and private routing that Veilid is built to provide.
