In the past there have been times when we need to generate new RPMs
for an existing ZFS release. Typically this happens when a new RHEL
version comes out and the kernel symbols no longer match. To get
users to auto-update we just bump the patch number. For example, we
had to create zfs-2.1.13-1 for EL8.8 and zfs-2.1.13-2 for EL8.9.
This commit adds an optional patch level text box to the github
package builder runner.
In addition, this commit also uses `hostnamectl` instead of `hostname`
for F42+ compatibility, if available.

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.
