To get rid of specifying a ruby version. Also simplifies the steps even further.
instead of using group permissions. We heard a lot of different opinions on this and it is clearly not a solution for everyone, but in contrast to the group permissions: * `www-data` will not get write access to mastodon files * this works identical on Debian and Ubuntu

This brings the installation instructions up-to-date with the upcoming 4.3 release and the current stable releases of the two operating systems.
I changed some punctuation, version numbers, removed commands that are no longer necessary and simplified a couple of others.
The biggest changes are due to changes in the two operating systems:
adduser --disabled-loginno longer sets a shell for the user it creates. I changed it to--disabled-passwordwhich should have roughly the same effect (preventing remote logins) as the old--disabled-login.www-datauser to themastodongroup, which solves the problem on Ubuntu, and added a hint with the extrachmodneeded on Debian.I tested this successfully on a fresh install of both Ubuntu 24.04 and Debian 12.
Resolves #1003, #1055, #1128, #1132, #1198, #1471, #1473 and mastodon/mastodon#27223
