Description

### Description

## Description
Currently, Apache APISIX does not provide packages for Amazon Linux 2023, which prevents users from installing APISIX through package managers like yum or dnf on this platform. This creates an obstacle for users who are running workloads on Amazon Linux 2023 and want to use APISIX as their API gateway.

## Current Situation
- APISIX packages are available for several Linux distributions
- Amazon Linux 2023 is not currently supported
- Users on AL2023 cannot install APISIX via yum or dnf

## Request
I would like to request official package support for Amazon Linux 2023, allowing users to install APISIX using standard package managers (yum/dnf) on this platform.

## Additional Information
- Amazon Linux 2023 is the latest version of Amazon's Linux distribution
- It uses dnf as its package manager (successor to yum)
- Many organizations are migrating to AL2023 for AWS workloads

## Impact
Adding support for Amazon Linux 2023 would:
- Improve accessibility for AWS users
- Simplify deployment in AL2023 environments
- Reduce the need for custom installation methods
- Align with APISIX's goal of broad platform support

Thank you for considering this feature request.
