  • Update command examples
    • Basic kernel management
    • Install kernel from "unstable" repository
  • Fix Fedora instructions
  • Make console code directives consistent

It works without `kernel-devel` package
1. Update "Using kernel installed in the VM" section:
 - Align user prompt to the rest of the document
 - Remove template version numbers
 - Remove note about installing custom kernel (both default and custom kernel instructions are provided now)
 - Clarify that only non-minimal templates have necessary packages preinstalled
2. Fix typo in fedora distribution kernel code block

All seems fine now.

Keep in mind that I haven't touched "Installing different VM kernel based on dom0 kernel", "Kernel files structure" and "Installing kernel in Debian VM" almost at all.

Debian VM distribution kernel documentation works.

I haven't tested anything related to custom kernels.

Thanks for the changes, I'm going to merge it.

I just added some changes to your PR to fix duplicate labels for both "Custom kernel" and "Distribution kernel", I prefixed them with Debian and Fedora.
