Expand installation instruction for common linux distros, macos
The instructions for installing tox through linux/macos package managers mention potential name conflicts with other projects but lacks in examples. I also could not find info anywhere else in the docs that expanded upon this.
I looked through the repositories for the most popular linux distro's package managers and homebrew for macos and added a section with the installation commands. Given there's some variation in project's name between tox, python-tox, and python3-tox, I think this section helps to add some clarity to these specific installation instructions.

Duplicate of https://github.com/tox-dev/tox/pull/2476#issuecomment-1221596894.
Hey @gaborbernat , would you be able to provide some feedback as to why you think this is a duplicate? The linked PR attempted to add instructions related to installing Python whereas this PR aids in installing the tox package itself. Within the existing installation instructions there's commands to install with pip or from a clone but the linux/macos package manager installations lack much detail which is why I though this change made sense.
