Allow installing a custom kernel version from the Fedora experimental
kernel repos onto the github runners. This is useful for testing if
ZFS works against a newer kernel.
Fedora has a number of repos with experimental kernel packages. This
PR allows installs from kernels in these repos:
@kernel-vanilla/stable
@kernel-vanilla/mainline
(https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Kernel_Vanilla_Repositories)
You will need to manually kick of a github runner to test with a custom
kernel version. To do that, go to the github actions tab under
'zfs-qemu' and click the drop-down for 'run workflow'. In there you
will see a text box to specify the version (like '6.14'). The scripts
will do their best to match the version to the newest matching version
that the repos support (since they're may be multiple nightly versions
of, say, '6.14'). A full list of kernel versions can be seen in the
dependency stage output if you kick off a manual run.

Add a new 'zfs-qemu-packages' GH workflow for manually building RPMs
and test installing ZFS RPMs from a yum repo. The workflow has a
dropdown menu in the Github runners tab with two options:
Build RPMs - Build release RPMs and tarballs and put them into an
artifact ZIP file. The directory structure used in
the ZIP file mirrors the ZFS yum repo.
Test repo - Test install the ZFS RPMs from the ZFS repo. On
Almalinux, this will do a DKMS and KMOD test install
from both the regular and testing repos. On Fedora,
it will do a DKMS install from the regular repo. All
test install results will be displayed in the Github
runner Summary page. Note that the workflow provides an
optional text box where you can specify the full URL to
an alternate repo. If left blank, it will install from
the default repo from the zfs-release RPM.
Most developers will never need to use this workflow. It is intended
to be used by the ZFS admins for building and testing releases.
This commit also modularizes many of the runner scripts so they can
be used by both the zfs-qemu and zfs-qemu-packages workflows.
