include installer for centos and rhel in addition to fedora #133

Official install instruction do include only Fedora from the RPM based distros, missing CentOS and RHEL. It is likely that the Fedora RPM would install and run succesfully on these but yum would not be able to find the RPM.

There are relatively easy approaches: publish your own yum repository so people can just add it to you on (almost) any rpm based distro. This can easily be done and automated using Fedora COPR infrastructure, where you can register, build and publish your own rpms and repositories.

Another option is to include tmate in EPEL repository, which is the official way of making a new tool available for CentOS, RHEL and to some extend Fedora (no guarantee but usually works).

I don't have time to deal with this, sorry

Not sure if I can either do it but if someone is interested I think that uploading travis builded rpms to bintray could be easily achived and their free limit of 10TB/month seems more than enough for tmate.

I plan to test it myself for few python based tools which are currently distributed only via PYPA, but adding repos could come handy for lots of people.
