1062711 - document how to build RPM from source

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Socorro :: General, task)

Description

[Robert Helmer [:rhelmer]]

docs/installation/install-src-prod.rst currently uses "make install" to install directly to /usr/local/socorro - this has significant downsides like hopelessly complicated config, difficult to upgrade, etc.

Let's document how to build an RPM here. We can also remove a lot of the instructions that won't be needed anymore, that RPM handles for us.
