docs/core-api: expand Fedora instructions for GCC plugins
In Fedora 36, cross-compiling an allmodconfig configuration
for other architectures on x86 fails with this problem:
In file included from ../scripts/gcc-plugins/gcc-common.h:95,
from ../scripts/gcc-plugins/latent_entropy_plugin.c:78:
/usr/lib/gcc/aarch64-linux-gnu/12/plugin/include/builtins.h:23:10: fatal
error: mpc.h: No such file or directory
23 | #include <mpc.h>
| ^~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
In that distro, that header file is available in the separate
libmpc-devel package.
Although future versions of Fedora might correctly mark
that dependency, mention this additional package.
To help detect such problems ahead of time, describe the
gcc -print-file-name=plugin
command that is used by scripts/gcc-plugins/Kconfig to detect
plugins [1].
