📄 Description

The following changes are made:

Uses /etc/os-release to determine OS type
Uses command -v dnf to determine if dnf is available, and falls back to yum if not
Uses yum/dnf in place of apt and apt-get where applicable
Trades apt keyrings for yum GPG keys where applicable
Changes www-data for nginx user/group where applicable
Installs pango and pango-devel from proper sources when in a RHEL environment
Uses pyenv to install proper python version when in RHEL environment
Uses proper nodejs setup script and dnf/yum install when in a RHEL environment
Changes python manage.py to python3.11 manage.py to be consistent
Changes /etc/nginx/sites-available to /etc/nginx/conf.d when in a RHEL environment
Fixes the directory permissions of all of the parent directories for /rmm/api/tacticalrmm/tacticalrmm.sock (nginx can't access socket)

The biggest change is the use of pyenv which required editing the service files, but it works well. This change could easily be added to the Debian section if desired, which would be less work than manually compiling the version each time.
