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].
