docs: compiling: Add a paragraph suggesting installation from repository

Browse Source 
Users should be encouraged to install libvirt from the distro's repos in
the first place.

Also encourage distro-specific ways to get newer versions, rather than
building from source manually.

Installing from distribution repositories
-----------------------------------------
This is the recommended option to install libvirt. Libvirt is present in the
package repositories of all major distributions. Installing a package from the
package manager ensures that it's properly compiled, installed, and updated
during the lifecycle of the distribution.
For users who wish to use the most recent version, certain distributions also
allow installing the most recent versions of virtualization packages:
**Fedora**
Refer to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Virtualization_Preview_Repository
**Gentoo**
The ``app-emulation/libvirt`` is regularly updated, but newest versions are
usually marked as testing by the ``~*`` keyword.
