ci, docker: update CentOS and OpenSUSE Python to non-EOL versions
Python 3.6 is at end-of-life. Update the libvirt-ci module to a version that supports overrides for targets and package mappings; this way, QEMU can use the newer versions provided by CentOS 8 (Python 3.8) and OpenSUSE 15.3 (Python 3.9). Reviewed-by: Daniel P. Berrangé <berrange@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
