I'm new to the xfstests, I've tried to set things up for testing and
found out that building manual in the README is not up-to-date and a
little bit difficult to follow as it's not clear which steps are
necessary to get started and which can be skipped.

In this patch I updated installation package list commands and
restructured "BUILDING THE FSQA SUITE" section. Package list is
up-to-date for the latest distors (Ubuntu 21.10, Debian 11, Fedora
35, RHEL 8).

Changes since v1:
- Formatting of package manager commands + move XFS packages to
  second step
- Separate Fedora from RHEL/CentOS in package installation
- Separate partion creation in to different steps
- Move fsqa user/group creation and udf_test to 'Setup Environment'
  section
- Improve example (xfs_io instead of dd, no mkfs/mount on scratch)
- Variables in 'Additional setup' divided into groups
- Fix formatting issues and clarify cluttered parts
