Add information about supported OS-es for Apache Airflow (#19855)
While answering some Stack Overflow questions I found and was
generally very surprised that we do not mention POSIX compliance
and "only use Linux for production" in our prerequisites.
This PR adds a note about it - both in GitHub and in our installation
prerequisites.
