Replace EOL centos CI with rockylinux
centos7 has reached EOL on 2024-06-30, centos8 on 2021-10-31. In practical terms this means that their package repositories are offline for the foreseeable future and the CI tasks making use of them might never run again. This patch replaces the existing CI jobs on centos7/centos8 with jobs on rockylinux8/9. Since rockylinux is an open source variant similar to RHEL this should provide testing with similar spirit. In contrast to centos, rockylinux does provide very granular tagging of releases which if used would help avoid breaking on e.g., subtle package changes in their package repositories. I however did not use very precise tags in the patch and instead went with broad "trains" for the 8 and 9 series; I hope this minimizes maintenance overhead (e.g., bumping to new releases) while still giving a good testing signal.
