cbe1a0fc6b simple-init: default to NetworkManager for CentOS and Fedora
NetworkManager with simple-init has proven to be stable in OpenStack
infra, switch to it by default for CentOS and Fedora.  For CentOS 8
and Fedora, add a check to make it the only option.  Thus only CenOS 7
remains optionally using the legacy scripts; this is likely not used
anywhere (infra is really the primary user, where NetworkManager is
already used); we can likely remove this variable (and hence path) in
a future cleanup.

In the setup, remove rhel7 element which was never really tested.
Reorganise the fallthrough to call out the default paths as doing
nothing.

8ec3750dda simple-init: allow for NetworkManager support
This plumbs through an "--use-nm" flag to glean which instructs it to
setup interface bringup with NetworkManager rather than legacy network
enablement scripts.

In this case, install the NetworkManager package.  In the non-nm case,
also install the network-scripts for Fedora 29 -- this has stopped
being installed by default (it's been deprecated since forever).

As noted in the docs, this is currently really only relevant on the
supported rpm distros which are using the ifcfg-rh NetworkManager
plugin to effectively re-use old config files.  However,
NetworkManager has similar plugins for other platforms, so support can
be expanded if changes are proposed.
