INSTALLING.md: update Linux distribution examples
As announced with the v3.6.0 release of the Git LFS client, and as noted in commit 23fbfe8 of PR git-lfs#5911, since all the distribution versions based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7, CentOS 7, and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 12 for which we previously built RPM packages have now reached the end of their standard LTS (Long-Term Support) periods, future releases of Git LFS will no longer provide support for these platforms or build packages for them. Because we anticipate making a v3.7.0 release of the Git LFS client in the near future, we removed the Dockerfile we used to build packages for the RHEL/CentOS 7 and SLES 12 platforms in commit git-lfs/build-dockers@cfde130 of PR git-lfs/build-dockers#71. We then also removed the entries for these platforms from the list of our supported Linux distribution versions in the DistroMap Ruby class source file, which is utilized by several scripts run by our GitHub Actions release workflow jobs when building and naming the Linux packages we publish on Packagecloud. Previously, in commit ff36182 of PR git-lfs#4328, we removed support for distribution versions based on the Debian 8 ("jessie") platform, including Ubuntu 14.04 ("Trusty Tahr") and Linux Mint 17.1 ("Rebecca"). However, some of the installation examples in our "INSTALLING.md" page still reference these platforms, so we update these exmaples now with more contemporary Linux distribution versions.

If you are running a distribution which does not match exactly a repository uploaded for Git LFS, but for which there is a repository for a compatible upstream distribution, you can either run the script with some additional parameters, or run it and then manually-correct the resulting repository URLs. See [#1074](https://github.com/git-lfs/git-lfs/issues/1074) for details.
