make install instructions nicer

Trying to implement some ideas from jellyfin/jellyfin-meta#92
Open to feedback and/or major changes

Two thoughts.

[jhparker88]

As a first time user (or even occasional installer) you would expect a list of OS's from where you start (as most software installation divide there instructions by OS) but now you have a single page dedicated to automatic installations mixing (which means scrolling until you find your OS) all OS information merged into one page (for users that might never us Linux or Windows or macOS). I would recommend to keep Linux, Windows, macOS separated by there dedicated pages to reduce the need for searching relevant information on a specific OS.

I do agree wiht @jhparker88 that the flow/list should be a little nicer starting with broad OS categories. But also this derives from a discussion regarding what we want to support at 1st party vs. 3rd party so perhaps that's better left for another PR.

[felix920506]

@joshuaboniface I separated it out into the broad OS categories for the automatic installers. For the portable ones ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[jhparker88]

I would suggest moving the TrueNAS SCALE into the "Advanced" section given that it is similar to Synology and avoids cluttering the installation section.

[felix920506]

@jhparker88 the reason Truenas scale isn't in advanced but Synology is that Synology users are actively causing support problems for us especially for hardware acceleration related problems since they use a kernel version so old even Intel doesn't support drivers for anymore. On top of that because they are such potatoes in terms of processing power, they are just a pain to support.

Truenas doesn't have this problem.

Well, I saw that more under the premise of "user" reach which means most users (not having any numbers here) will choose from the four main (Linux, Windows, macOS, or Container) and any specialized installations can be found in Advanced. I was also under the impression that advanced means doing more than just pulling a container or download a file and press enter. For example, I would love to see a Promox section next to the Synonlogy and TrueNAS to incorporate #1328 into it but I'm digressing here.
