Tests update

[scaronni]

• CentOS 7 is EOL
• Ubuntu 18.04 is EOL, and extra updates up to 2028 are only available with an Ubuntu Pro subscription and the "pro" tool.
• Do not print dots on long operations when doing tests. I've found the parsing of the logs / removal of the dots very unreliable. This makes sure the extra progressing dots are not printed only during tests.
• Drop Ubuntu VM test as it's inconsistent with the output (hit in Reduce output when installing/uninstalling #425 (comment)).

@evelikov or @xuzhen any chance for a review and merge?

Do you have any references about the unreliable dot-dot-dot? Don't recall seeing any issues, although I haven't paid as much attention as I should have.

If it's not an isolated case, let's cross reference the yml in the dkms.in. So it's a bit harder to update one and not the other in the future.

Please copy/paste the nice summary from the PR into the respective commits.

It's linked in the other MR above, the VM output is not consistent with the container output. Note that I also tested with a CentOS Stream 9 VM and there the output is consistent with the AlmaLinux 9 container.

Sorry not sure I understand, what do you mean?

Done.

Btw, this is blocking the other pull requests as tests always fail. Thanks.
