Add support for openSUSE

[ananace]

Since it seems like RedHat is steadily teetering towards a deep dark hole, getting support for openSUSE (and therefore also SLES) would be much appreciated.

As a note, the EL8 RPM can be installed and used on an openSUSE Leap 15.5 system without any issues.

suse-test:/ # lsb_release -a
LSB Version:    n/a
Distributor ID: openSUSE
Description:    openSUSE Leap 15.5
Release:        15.5

Agree that would be great but not sure it’s something I can do given time constraints happy to help a community member contribute that though.

It’s probably largely a copy/paste effort to add a packager (choria-io/packager) for it and once that is built packaging scripts (packager directory in this repo) along with the needed GitHub actions.

I can have a look at it later, but until then it seems perfectly possible to just use the EL8 repo on openSUSE as a stop-gap measure;

suse-test:/etc/zypp/repos.d # cat choria-release.repo 
[choria-release]
name=Choria Orchestrator Releases
enabled=True
gpgcheck=True
repo_gpgcheck=True
gpgkey=https://choria.io/RELEASE-GPG-KEY
