Yeah, since CentOS 8 is already EOL as of end of 2021, we're now
missing a platform. So we can just change all CentOS 8 to Rocky Linux
and it won't mean dropping support for any non-EOL platform.
The only question is whether we want to retain CentOS 7 support. From
my testing, Rocky Linux really is a drop-in replacement for CentOS 8,
so if we add a `BASE_IMAGE` build arg, similar to our existing
`RHEL_VERSION` build arg, we can get images `FROM
${BASE_IMAGE}:${RHEL_VERSION}`, which could be either
`rockylinux/rockylinux:8` (default) or `centos:7` without making
additional changes to our Dockerfile logic.
If we don't retain CentOS 7 support in our Dockerfiles, we should
probably remove CentOS 7 as a build target, since that target would go
untested.
