Using rpm -e to remove old kernels fails when other packages also depend on the removed kernel. This change reverts back to using dnf to remove the kernel, but also sets the config value protect_running_kernel=False to avoid the issue where the build host kernel version matches the version of the package being deleted. reverts commit 1ac31afd6297c2a9a0673b0cde17e18230c3b977.

Image installation steps common to RHEL, CentOS, Fedora and openEuler.

None
- Description
-
Use the local path of a qcow2 cloud image. This is useful in that you can use a customized or previously built cloud image from diskimage-builder as input. The cloud image does not have to have been built by diskimage-builder. It should be a full disk image, not just a filesystem image.
