Add CentOS 8 Package Builder Step

[kj4ezj]

Change Description

From AUTO-279, the CI system and build scripts have been updated to support CentOS 8. However, where most of the steps in the CI system are auto-generated based on what platforms are defined in the .cicd/platforms folder, the package builder steps must be added to the CI system by hand because every operating system is like a snowflake...lol.

Tested Working

To verify the new binary works, I downloaded eosio-2.1.0-alpha2.x86_64.rpm from the CentOS 8 Package Builder step in eosio build 25943. Then, in the folder with that artifact:

docker pull centos:8
docker run -v "$(pwd):/eos" -w /eos -it centos:8 /bin/bash

Finally, inside the container:

yum update
yum install -y /eos/eosio-2.1.0-alpha2.x86_64.rpm
nodeos --version
nodeos --help

The output is omitted here for brevity, but it worked as expected.
