README claimed most OSVs like RHEL/SUSE/fedora use the default Full Feature Build. That is inaccurate: Fedora and RHEL(EPEL) ship the Free Kernel Build (packaged as intel-media-driver-free) without the closed-source kernels and H.26x codec support, and offer the Full Feature Build only through third-party repositories (e.g. RPM Fusion non-free) or Intel's own graphics repository. Drop the wrong claim from the Full Feature bullet and describe the actual packaging on the Free Kernel bullet. Fixes: intel#1858 Signed-off-by: Carl.Zhang <carl.zhang@intel.com>

Summary
The README claimed that most OSVs like RHEL/SUSE/fedora use the default
Full Feature Build. That is inaccurate: Fedora and RHEL (EPEL) ship the
Free Kernel Build, packaged as
intel-media-driver-free, which excludesthe closed-source media kernels (and therefore H.26x codec support). The
Full Feature Build is only available there through third-party repositories
(e.g. RPM Fusion non-free) or Intel's own graphics repository.
This drops the incorrect claim from the Full Feature Build bullet and
describes the actual packaging on the Free Kernel Build bullet.
Issue
Fixes #1858
Notes
Documentation-only change. SUSE is intentionally not called out with a
specific claim since its default build configuration was not verified; the
Ubuntu/Debian package split (
intel-media-va-driver/intel-media-va-driver-non-free) is already documented in the followingparagraph and is left unchanged.
