Add RHEL 7 to CI #272

For every PR, we run the entire test suite (with some exceptions) on all distributions that we care about to make sure the tests are all passing (or failing, where appropriate). Unfortunately, there's one distribution - RHEL 7 - that's not tested. It's also quite a bit of a unique platform with oldre/different packages, commands and paths.

We should add it to our CI matrix

Unfortunately, there's no simple/public way to get RHEL 7 + .NET from RHEL 7. We can get a RHEL 7 container using ubi7, but we can't install much in it.

Here's one way I am thinking we could make it work:

With .NET on RHEL 7 reaching its EOL in a few months (see https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/net-core), I don't think implementing this is a high priority.
