[Therion] Therion vs. Proj 9 - Fedora 37

[Bill Gee]

I am happy to report that things have changed regarding compiling 
Therion from source.  I have done it twice now on Fedora 37 systems, and 
both times it worked the first time and with no error.

I did the compile on a test system using Therion 6.1.5 - just a few 
hours before 6.1.6 came out!  The second system I used 6.1.6.  Both worked.

The github link cited by Rodrigo Severo was critical.  There is a list 
of prerequisite packages in the docker config file, and a sequence of 
commands.  Although I did not build a docker package, the prerequisites 
and command sequence worked the same.

The only change I had to make was in the application launcher shortcuts. 
  The "make install" routine puts the Therion Book and the executable 
files in a different place (/usr/local/bin) than Jim Begley's packages 
(/usr/bin).  I did NOT have to make a symbolic link for the libnghttp2 
library.

Otherwise Therion and loch both launch and run just fine.
