Add AlmaLinux 8 & 9 support

[archanaserver]

Added AlmaLinux 8 and 9 to the supported operating systems in metadata.json.

These changes ensure that we start testing with AlmaLinux 8 and 9 instead of CentOS 8 Stream. This update is part of our transition to better support AlmaLinux in our Puppet modules.

See, for details: theforeman/foreman-infra#2087

This fails because of the PIDFile issue. You may notice we don't test on CentOS 8 because of that reason.

@ekohl what do you mean by PIDFile issue? it is unclear for me.

If you look for pidfile in the repository you'll find:

puppet-dns/.github/workflows/ci.yml

Line 17 in 3f53f46

pidfile_workaround: 'CentOS'

@ekohl this supports array right, can we not do it this way, thought i don't understand the boolean part of it.
pidfile_workaround: 'CentOS,AlmaLinux'

Take a look at https://github.com/voxpupuli/puppet_metadata/blob/7c7dcad9f71cc873cd2cbffd608f635a2602d081/HISTORY.md?plain=1#L10

This is saying that you can set pidfile_workaround to true|false and apply it for all OSes. Or you can supply an array of specific OSes that the workaround should be applied to. Try setting

puppet-dns/.github/workflows/ci.yml

Line 17 in 3f53f46

pidfile_workaround: 'CentOS'

to an array with CentOS and AlmaLinux in it.
