Build core packages with EL10

[ekohl]

This includes:

• Allow bootstrapping foreman-build #12768
• Switch RPM buildroot to use OpenVox #12770
• Use copr:// links for external repositories #11562
• Drop EL8 requirement workaround #12871
• Update rubygem-sqlite3 to 1.7.3 #12873
• Bump container to NodeJS 22 #12874
• Convert nodejs-buffer to single style package #12875
• Sort comps #12880
• Add nodejs-neo-async package #12881
• Unbundle nodejs-sass-loader #12882

Currently known failing packages when building ruby_core_packages_tier1:

• rubygem-safemode incompatible with Ruby >= 3.2. This is maintained by Foreman and needs work (Ruby 3.4 compatibility safemode#54). Currently hacked around
• rubygem-sqlite3 fails to compile on EL10. We're on 1.4.4 which is 3 years old. Might be sufficient to upgrade to 3.x

Currently known failing packages when building ruby_core_packages_tier2:

• rubygem-rkerberos fails to compile on EL10 (config.c:155:53: error: passing argument 1 of ‘RB_INT2FIX’ makes integer from pointer domcleal/rkerberos#27). This gem is unmaintained so needs attention. Currently patched out of foreman-proxy to allow skipping it.

What does work:

• rails_core_packages
• hammer_core_packages
• other_core_packages

What doesn't work:

• foreman_nodejs_packages has various issues and I haven't tried to figure out why. Some need their cache rebuilt for NPM 6, others complain about missing files
• foreman needs at least rubygem-safemode and nodejs packages
• foreman-installer is in the same group as its dependencies and needs to be split. It does build after you build all its dependencies.

I've built everything in https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/ekohl/foreman-nightly-staging/ so there's where you can also find the build logs.

Currently it installs a bunch of files in /usr/lib/node_modules_ which shouldn't happen:

In /usr/lib/rpm/macros.d/macros.nodejs we can see:

# nodejs binary
%__nodejs %{_bindir}/node

# currently installed nodejs version
%nodejs_version %(%{__nodejs} -v | sed s/v//)
%_nodejs_major_version %(echo %{nodejs_version} | sed 's#^\\([0-9]\\+\\).*#\\1#')

# nodejs library directory
%nodejs_sitelib %{_prefix}/lib/node_modules_%{_nodejs_major_version}

It appears %_nodejs_major_version can't be resolved, probably because nodejs-packaging actually requires nodejs to be installed but our packaging doesn't do that. This feels like a RHEL bug to me. One we can work around, but still isn't nice.

Filed https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-121844 for that.
