Bug Description

Add support for AlmaLinux to act as an alternative to CentOS. (https://almalinux.org/blog/almalinux-os-stable-release-is-live/) AlmaLinux OS is a 1:1 binary compatible fork of RHEL and has recently been marked as Stable. We should be able to add an alias for Redhat to Curtin so that it can be used in MAAS.

In addtion to AlmaLinux there is also RockyLinux. I think Curtin should evaluate whether it can detect CentOS derivatives by looking at the ID_LIKE field in /etc/os-release instead of hard coding each derivative that is released.

Getting curtin to do best effort match derivative to something it already supports is realistic and it would not prevent hardcoding any real differences on top of that if need be.
