David Steele c32e000ab9 Use Rocky Linux for documentation builds instead of CentOS.
Since CentOS 8 will be EOL at the end of the year it makes sense to do this now. The centos:8 image is still used in documentation.xml because changes there require manual testing, which will need to be done at a later date. The changes are not user-facing, however, and can be done at any time.

Also update CentOS references to RHEL since that is what we are emulating for testing purposes.

<title>General Builds</title>
<p>The <backrest/> documentation can output a variety of formats and target several platforms and <postgres/> versions.</p>
<p>This will build all documentation with defaults:</p>
<code-block type="bash">
./doc.pl
</code-block>
<p>The user guide can be built for <id>rhel</id> and <id>debian</id>. This will build the HTML user guide for RHEL:</p>
<code-block type="bash">
./doc.pl --out=html --include=user-guide --var=os-type=rhel
</code-block>
<p>Documentation generation will build a cache of all executed statements and use the cache to build the documentation quickly if no executed statements have changed. This makes proofing text-only edits very fast, but sometimes it is useful to do a full build without using the cache:</p>
<code-block type="bash">
./doc.pl --out=html --include=user-guide --var=os-type=rhel --no-cache
</code-block>
<p>Each <id>os-type</id> has a default container image that will be used as a base for creating hosts but it may be useful to change the image.</p>
<code-block type="bash">
./doc.pl --out=html --include=user-guide --var=os-type=debian --var=os-image=debian:9
./doc.pl --out=html --include=user-guide --var=os-type=rhel --var=os-image=centos:7
</code-block>
<p>The following is a sample RHEL 7 configuration that can be used for building the documentation.</p>
<code-block type="bash">
# Install docker
sudo yum install -y yum-utils device-mapper-persistent-data lvm2
sudo yum-config-manager --add-repo https://download.docker.com/linux/centos/docker-ce.repo
sudo yum install -y docker-ce
sudo systemctl start docker
# Install tools
sudo yum install -y git wget
# Install latex (for building PDF)
sudo yum install -y texlive texlive-titlesec texlive-sectsty texlive-framed texlive-epstopdf ghostscript
# Install Perl modules via CPAN that do not have packages
sudo yum install -y yum cpanminus
sudo yum groupinstall -y "Development Tools" "Development Libraries"
sudo cpanm install --force XML::Checker::Parser
# Add documentation test user
sudo groupadd test
sudo adduser -gtest -n testdoc
sudo usermod -aG docker testdoc
</code-block>

<section id="package">
<title>Building with Packages</title>
<p>A user-specified package can be used when building the documentation. Since the documentation exercises most <backrest/> functionality this is a great way to smoke-test packages.</p>
<p>The package must be located within the <backrest/> repo and the specified path should be relative to the repository base. <path>test/package</path> is a good default path to use.</p>
<p>Ubuntu 16.04:</p>
<code-block type="bash">
./doc.pl --out=html --include=user-guide --no-cache --var=os-type=debian --var=os-image=ubuntu:16.04 --var=package=test/package/pgbackrest_2.08-0_amd64.deb
</code-block>
<p>RHEL 7:</p>
<code-block type="bash">
./doc.pl --out=html --include=user-guide --no-cache --var=os-type=rhel --var=os-image=centos:7 --var=package=test/package/pgbackrest-2.08-1.el7.x86_64.rpm
</code-block>
<p>RHEL 8:</p>
<code-block type="bash">
./doc.pl --out=html --include=user-guide --no-cache --var=os-type=rhel --var=os-image=centos:8 --var=package=test/package/pgbackrest-2.08-1.el8.x86_64.rpm
</code-block>
<p>Packages can be built with <file>test.pl</file> using the following configuration on top of the configuration given for building the documentation.</p>
<code-block type="bash">
