### Pull Request Checklist

<!-- Please read
https://element-hq.github.io/synapse/latest/development/contributing_guide.html
before submitting your pull request -->

* [X] Pull request is based on the develop branch
* [X] Pull request includes a [changelog
file](https://element-hq.github.io/synapse/latest/development/contributing_guide.html#changelog).
The entry should:
- Be a short description of your change which makes sense to users.
"Fixed a bug that prevented receiving messages from other servers."
instead of "Moved X method from `EventStore` to `EventWorkerStore`.".
  - Use markdown where necessary, mostly for `code blocks`.
  - End with either a period (.) or an exclamation mark (!).
  - Start with a capital letter.
- Feel free to credit yourself, by adding a sentence "Contributed by
@github_username." or "Contributed by [Your Name]." to the end of the
entry.
* [X] [Code
style](https://element-hq.github.io/synapse/latest/code_style.html) is
correct
(run the
[linters](https://element-hq.github.io/synapse/latest/development/contributing_guide.html#run-the-linters))

I forgot the guide applies to Oracle Linux as well. In fact, I ran a
small homeserver on OEL a few months back.

I did minimal installations on Rocky and OEL on VirtualBox and noticed
Codeready/Powertools repos aren't required, so I removed those commands
from the guide. I switched `RHEL`-references to `EL`.

#17423 was merged before I remembered about OEL but a new PR shouldn't
hurt :)

It's recommended to use the latest Python versions.
RHEL 8 in particular ships with Python 3.6 by default which is EOL and therefore no longer supported by Synapse. RHEL 9 ship with Python 3.9 which is still supported by the Python core team as of this writing. However, newer Python versions provide significant performance improvements and they're available in official distributions' repositories. Therefore it's recommended to use them.

Python 3.11 and 3.12 are available for both RHEL 8 and 9.
These commands should be run as root user.
RHEL 8
```bash
# Enable PowerTools repository
dnf config-manager --set-enabled powertools
```
RHEL 9
```bash
# Enable CodeReady Linux Builder repository
crb enable
```
Install new version of Python. You only need one of these:
```bash
# Python 3.11
