Update packaging for RL8

See merge request !2157

This disables usage of the SIStr library in the RPM packaging, used for
hardware injection support. This requires the use of cds-crtools and
this is not packaged for RL8, and there are no plans to make this
available. If the hardware injection codes are needed then the Conda
packages should be used.

python3-gwpy has not been packaged as an RPM for some time. The code
that uses gwpy is behind an import protection so will give error and not
just crash. If the code that utilizes gwpy is needed then the Conda
packaging should be used.

The way packages that use MPI has been updated in RHEL8 and as such the
MPI code here no longer works, disable building against MPI until this
can be addressed. If MPI is needed then the Conda packages support MPI.

Add the --gaps flag to lalpulsar_MakeSFTDAG.py

restructure container registry layout

See merge request !2144

for nightly containers use:
  containers.ligo.org/lscsoft/lalsuite/lalsuite:nightly-${PLATFORM}

and for tags use:
  containers.ligo.org/lscsoft/lalsuite/lalsuite:${VERSION}-${PLATFORM}

this will allow container cleanup to work in a more sensible way
