Add non-standard kernel installation for RockyLinux 8 (#146)

* Add non-standard kernel installation for RockyLinux 8

* Add test VM in molecule tests for Rocky8 non-standard installation method

* Rename non-standard to dkms as an install method

* Automate installation process : kmod if possible, dkms as fallback

* BUGFIX : dmks installation needs EPEL repo for wireguard-tools

* Molecule : install ELRepo mainline kernel for rocky8 dkms installation

* Revert "Automate installation process : kmod if possible, dkms as fallback"

This reverts commit 822fbcbe5d8c484ecd984df57fd170749d6b97c1.

* Molecule : add wireguard_rockylinux8_installation_method variable to test-wg-rocky8-dkms
