W. Trevor King b2b7d82cdf docs/dev/dependencies: Mention install-config YAML generation
Catching up with c1dbb138f8 (pkg/types: ensure kubebuilder can build
correct documentation, 2020-04-27, #3515), to make it easier for
first-time or occasional contributors to figure out how to update that
file.

# Managing Dependencies
## Build Dependencies
The following dependencies must be installed on your system before you can build the installer.
### Fedora, CentOS, RHEL
```sh
sudo dnf install golang-bin gcc-c++ zip
```
If you need support for [libvirt destroy](libvirt/README.md#cleanup), you should also install `libvirt-devel`.
### Go
We follow a hard flattening approach; i.e. direct and inherited dependencies are installed in the base `vendor/`.
Dependencies are managed with [Go Modules](https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Modules) but committed directly to the repository.
We require at least Go 1.22.
- Add or update a dependency with `go get <dependency>@<version>`.
- If you want to use a fork of a project or ensure that a dependency is not updated even when another dependency requires a newer version of it, manually add a [replace directive in the go.mod file](https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Modules#when-should-i-use-the-replace-directive).
- Run `go mod tidy` to tidy `go.mod` and update `go.sum`, then commit the changes.
- Run `go mod vendor` to re-vendor and then commit updated vendored code separately.
If your vendor bump touched `github.com/openshift/api`, also run `go generate ./pkg/types/installconfig.go` to update [`data/data/install.openshift.io_installconfigs.yaml`](/data/data/install.openshift.io_installconfigs.yaml).
This [guide](https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Modules#how-to-use-modules) is a great source to learn more about using `go mod`.
For the sake of your fellow reviewers, commit vendored code separately from any other changes.
