Allow installing a custom kernel version from the Fedora experimental kernel repos onto the github runners. This is useful for testing if ZFS works against a newer kernel. Fedora has a number of repos with experimental kernel packages. This PR allows installs from kernels in these repos: @kernel-vanilla/stable @kernel-vanilla/mainline (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Kernel_Vanilla_Repositories) You will need to manually kick of a github runner to test with a custom kernel version. To do that, go to the github actions tab under 'zfs-qemu' and click the drop-down for 'run workflow'. In there you will see a text box to specify the version (like '6.14'). The scripts will do their best to match the version to the newest matching version that the repos support (since they're may be multiple nightly versions of, say, '6.14'). A full list of kernel versions can be seen in the dependency stage output if you kick off a manual run. Signed-off-by: Tony Hutter <hutter2@llnl.gov>

Motivation and Context
Easily test ZFS against new kernels on github runners.
Description
Allow installing a custom kernel version from the Fedora experimental kernel repos onto the github runners. This is useful for testing if ZFS works against a newer kernel.
Fedora has a number of repos with experimental kernel packages. This PR allows installs from kernels in these repos:
@kernel-vanilla/stable
@kernel-vanilla/mainline

You will need to manually kick of a github runner to test with a custom kernel version. To do that, go to the github actions tab under 'zfs-qemu' and click the drop-down for 'run workflow'. In there you will see a text box to specify the version (like '6.14'). The scripts will do their best to match the version to the newest matching version that the repos support (since they're may be multiple nightly versions of, say, '6.14'). A full list of kernel versions can be seen in the dependency stage output if you kick off a manual run.
How Has This Been Tested?
Tested with 6.14rc7 kernel. Saw test suite complete successfully.
