Fedora COPR build

[lihaohong6]

I made a Fedora COPR repository for scc. I'm not familiar with COPR, so I might have done something improperly, but at least it works on my machine.

It'll be nice to have scc in the official Fedora repository just like tokei and cloc, but the process seems pretty difficult. COPR is probably a good enough solution for now.

If this looks good to you, perhaps the link to the COPR repository can be added to the README?

Happy to do this, but otherwise if you want just add a PR and ill ensure its added.

Not worth a separate issue, but I think I should note it somewhere:

Since the newest release bumped the version of go to 1.24, it no longer builds on Fedora 40 and 41 as they still use go 1.22 and 1.23, respectively. In 2 months, Fedora 40 will be EOL while 41 will be superseded by 42, the latest stable release, so I'm not too worried about them being one minor version behind.

I've built the new version of scc on Fedora 42 and rawhide, which are using 1.24. I can probably work around the go version problem by downloading the prebuilt binaries or downloading the latest version of go at build time. Those are not the best practice and will take some time to accomplish, so I might give them a try when I have time to spare.

I don't think any of the new Go functionality is being used, so it should still compile with a older version of Go. From memory that works fairly well, although there will be some performance loss as a result, but not a huge issue.

Ah I see. Thanks for the clarification. That'll make things a lot easier. I can try to patch go.mod to decrease the required go version, and hopefully no dependency happens to rely on 1.24.

I will try to avoid any for the short term.
