netdata/packaging: Documentation on distribution support matrix and functionality availability (#6552)
* netdata/packaging: [ci skip] Add trusty and xenial * netdata/packaging: [ci skip] check directly for the flag existence * netdata/packaging: Append table for functionality-related support matrix * netdata/packaging: add line ending * [ci skip] revert this - will get help from joel * netdata/packaging/doc: [ci skip] experiment * netdata/packaging: [ci skip] fix * netdata/packaging: [ci skip] Add more info needed for the rest to check the style * netdata/packaging: [ci skip] different icon * netdata/packaging: [ci skip] split per arch * netdata/packaging:[ci skip] More adjustments * netdata/packaging:[ci skip] more adjustments * netdata/packaging:[ci skip] style * netdata/packaging: update status * netdata/packaging: [ci skip] update rpm/deb state * netdata/packaging:[ci skip] different icon for unchecked * Revert "netdata/packaging:[ci skip] different icon for unchecked" This reverts commit 6ed2a46859f0bb1dd3c1a266280074b023028382. oops, the other one, not this * netdata/packaging: [ci skip] change symbol for unchecked * netdata/packaging: we dont know source state for all other linux, so make it questionmark * netdata/packaging:[ci skip] fix suse leap state * netdata/packaging: [ci skip] fix deb state * Update DISTRIBUTIONS.md * Update DISTRIBUTIONS.md * Update DISTRIBUTIONS.md * netdata/pkg: [ci skip]Update DISTRIBUTIONS.md Sync x86 table with amd64 table. They are not 1 on 1 but close enough, so syncing and then will adjust to the differences at another pass * netdata/packaging: [ci skip] code health doesnt make sense, rename to ci smoke testing which makes more sense * Update DISTRIBUTIONS.md * Update DISTRIBUTIONS.md * Update DISTRIBUTIONS.md * Update DISTRIBUTIONS.md * Update DISTRIBUTIONS.md * netdata/packaging:[ci skip] Stricter check on protobuf, plus separate config for trusty because no libuv1 available there * netdata/packaging: add functionality-related details * netdata/packaging/docs: add skeleton sections * netdata/packaging/docs: remove that * netdata/packaging: fix header * Update DISTRIBUTIONS.md * netdata/packaging/docs:[ci skip] fix indent * netdata/packaging/docs: [ci skip] change wording * netdata/packaging/docs: kickstart-static64 everywhere * netdata/packaging/docs: [ci skip] Add legend and update some fields * netdata/packaging/docs: add disable flags * Update DISTRIBUTIONS.md * Update DISTRIBUTIONS.md * Update DISTRIBUTIONS.md * Update packaging/DISTRIBUTIONS.md Co-Authored-By: Joel Hans <joel.g.hans@gmail.com> * Update packaging/DISTRIBUTIONS.md Co-Authored-By: Joel Hans <joel.g.hans@gmail.com> * Update packaging/DISTRIBUTIONS.md Co-Authored-By: Joel Hans <joel.g.hans@gmail.com> * netdata/packaging/docs: feedback * Update packaging/DISTRIBUTIONS.md Co-Authored-By: Joel Hans <joel.g.hans@gmail.com> * Update packaging/DISTRIBUTIONS.md Co-Authored-By: Joel Hans <joel.g.hans@gmail.com> * Update packaging/DISTRIBUTIONS.md Co-Authored-By: Joel Hans <joel.g.hans@gmail.com> * Update packaging/DISTRIBUTIONS.md Co-Authored-By: Joel Hans <joel.g.hans@gmail.com> * Update packaging/DISTRIBUTIONS.md Co-Authored-By: Joel Hans <joel.g.hans@gmail.com> * netdata/packaging: more feedback

+## Supported functionalities accross different distribution channels
+
+On the following section we try to depict what functionalities are available, across the different distribution channels.
+There are various limitations and problems we try to attend as we evolve and grow. Through this report we want to provide some clarity as to what is available and in what way. Of course we strive to deliver our full solution through all channels, but that may not be feasible yet for some cases.
+
+**Legend**:
+
+- **Auto-detect**: Depends on the programs package dependencies. If the required dependencies are covered during compile time, capability is enabled
+- **YES**: This flag implies that the functionality is available for that distribution channel
+- **NO**: Not available at the moment for that distribution channel at this time, but may be a work-in-progress effort from the Netdata team.
+- **At Runtime**: The given module or functionality is available and only requires configuration after install to enable it
+
+### Core functionality
+
+#### Core
+This is the base netdata capability, that includes basic monitoring, embedded web server, and so on.
+
+| make/make install | netdata-installer.sh | kickstart.sh | kickstart-static64.sh | Docker image | RPM packaging | DEB packaging |
+| :-----------------: | :-----------------: | :-----------------: | :-----------------: | :-----------------: | :-----------------: | :-----------------: |
+| YES | YES | YES | YES | YES | YES | YES |
+
+- **Flags/instructions to enable**: None
+- **Flags to disable from source**: None
+- **What packages required for auto-detect?**: `install-required-packages.sh netdata`
+
+#### DB Engine
+This is the brand new database engine capability of netdata. It is a mandatory facility required by netdata. Given it's special needs and dependencies though, it remains an optional facility so that users can enjoy netdata even when they cannot cover the dependencies or the H/W requirements.
+
+| make/make install | netdata-installer.sh | kickstart.sh | kickstart-static64.sh | Docker image | RPM packaging | DEB packaging |

+- **Flags/instructions to enable**: None
+- **Flags to disable from source**: `--disable-dbengine`
+- **What packages required for auto-detect?**: `openssl`, `libuv1`, `lz4`, `Judy`
+
+#### Encryption Support (HTTPS)
+This is Netdata's TLS capability that incorporates encryption on the web server and the APIs between master and slaves. Also a mandatory facility for Netdata, but remains optional for users who are limited or not interested in tight security
+
+| make/make install | netdata-installer.sh | kickstart.sh | kickstart-static64.sh | Docker image | RPM packaging | DEB packaging |
