Update CentOS Stream 8 to 20210524 ISO

[ramereth]

Given the fact that these ISOs tend to change weekly, I sent an email to centos-devel [1] to see if they can come up with a better way to manage this in the long term for packer.

Looks like no reply back yet for the symlink ( I just checked ), but based on this email it you can just do an url to the checksum i.e.:

"iso_checksum": "file:https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/centos/8-stream/isos/x86_64/CHECKSUM"

I just tried it out on one of the projects I am working on, and it worked. So, that will at least solve one of the issues. Then you will just have to place the URL for the updated iso ( until/if they add a symlink).

@elreydetoda they replied today and seemed as though they're willing to add a "latest" symlink. Once they do that, I'll update this to use the method above for the checksums.

If they don't add it you can check out this Python module i had someone make: https://pypi.org/project/latestos/

For those following, I created an upstream bug to track this further.
