Review in cubic

…tdata-plugin-netflow' error. In installation.md a note callout after the Debian/RPM/openSUSE install blocks explains the package is not published for every distribution release and links to the static install and source build sections. In troubleshooting.md a new 'The package can't be installed' section (before 'The plugin doesn't start') covers repo codename verification and the static/source fallbacks with cross-links to installation.md and the native packages reference.
