In preparation for bumping the minimum requirement for the Python runtime in QEMU 8.0, use the Python 3.8 package in the CentOS Stream 8 build environments. To cover all bases, the "generic" playbook sets up alternatives so that /usr/bin/python3 points to Python 3.8, while the custom runner uses the --python option to configure. The latter is probably more suitable for the task of building an RPM file.
