Publishing native AOT fails on Fedora 40, Documentation suggests packages only for Ubuntu

[photex]

Describe the bug

I've seen #37995 and the solution doesn't generally apply to Fedora 40. The dotnet documentation is unfortunately Ubuntu specific and would not apply to RHEL distros or Fedora.

Instead you need to install zlib-ng-devel, and zlib-ng-compat-devel.

To Reproduce

chipc@fedora:~/workspaces/slowgames$ mkdir testproj
chipc@fedora:~/workspaces/slowgames$ cd testproj
chipc@fedora:~/workspaces/slowgames/testproj$ dotnet new console
