This seems very RedHat-centric, which I'm not sure is a good idea. Also,
shouldn't at least some of these recipes call dnf and dnf-builddep
instead of yum and yum-build-dep?

If we're going to do this then arguably we should also be supporting
GitHub Actions and who knows what other CI frameworks. There is a case
for us special casing Cirrus CI because it's used for the cfbot.
