Description

There were a handful of issues affecting CentOS 8 and stream-8, both in
the actual installer as well as our test harness:

The crb repo used by newer centos releases is called powertools in
8 and stream-8.
There's no epel-next-release repo.
For the install tests, we need to update yum to point at
vault.centos.org because they've removed these from the primary
mirror.

Testing Done


Ran unit tests.
Ran install tests for centos8/stream-8.

Can you add a blank line between the sets of commands, like we have up above? This will help with readability when there's a bunch of multi-line commands, and keep that consistent.

Same below.
