Description

Feature patch - remove libcec from CentOS ansibile install requirements

In RH BZ#1756170 (a request to build libcec for EPEL 8) the packager has indicated that they do not intend to package libcec for EPEL 8, as applications should use the in-kernel cec support.

As in MythTV libcec is currently optional for a build, and until/unless the packagers plan is modified(1) (at which time this patch could be reverted), remove the libcec-devel requirement for CentOS 8 so that ansible and a build can proceed.

depends on patches from #13524

(1) There are multiple packages commonly built for el that current use libcec, which may result in some pushback to the packagers plan not to package, but that is a different discussion.

Proposed patch:
