create-anaconda-payload: provide an RPM instead of tarball

[KKoukiou]

Image refresh for fedora-rawhide-anaconda-payload

• image-refresh fedora-rawhide-anaconda-payload

The RPM is better usable by anaconda CI as it will install the payload through interactive defaults file.

@KKoukiou FYI, it must look like this, no extra ::

 * [ ] image-refresh fedora-rawhide-anaconda-payload

You previously had * [ ]: image-refresh. (I fixed it)

cockpituous test still failed. This isn't for you @KKoukiou, please ignore (it's not a required test). In the meantime, I broke the script move out to PR #6811 so that it doesn't get in the way here. I triggered the a-webui tests. They are red (no surprise), but you have a PR to test an update against now.

[KKoukiou]

Thanks @martinpitt
Tests ran here: rhinstaller/anaconda-webui#421

[martinpitt]

Thanks! LGTM now, so my approval is mostly to retract my previous 👎. But I suggest waiting for @adamkankovsky or other installer team member to review this.

(cockpituous test still runs because image-create changed. But I think it's ok to ignore the failure, it's not clear why it times out)

[KKoukiou]

There is something wrong with the tar file in this payload PR - although it's not supposed to have changed how we create it.

I see when i try to untar it:

gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

Ok I think it;'s because by mistake when renaming the tar file - I did s/tar.gz/tar.xz

After discussion with other team members - this ended up being suboptimal solution.

Some summary background:
stage2 image has to be loaded to RAM with this - this is very memory intense requiring the test VMs to be bumped to 5GB at least.
