Subject: [PATCH] FAQ-BUILD: Update on Fedora 32 and Ubuntu Focal (20.04 LTS)

Fedora 32 has the same base package of texlive as Fedora 31 did
and building perfbook needs manual update of "epigraph" and a2ping.

Ubuntu Focal (20.04 LTS) compiled its texlive package as of mid-
February 2020 and no manual update is necessary.
