feat: add rpm to goreleaser build

[jason-lynch]

Summary

Adds an RPM output to our goreleaser build.

Testing

To create a test build of the RPM, run:

goreleaser-test-release

This will create a dist directory with release artifacts, including RPMs for both amd64 and arm64.

To install and use the RPM:

sudo su -

dnf install -y epel-release dnf
dnf config-manager --set-enabled crb
dnf update -y --allowerasing
dnf install -y https://dnf.pgedge.com/reporpm/pgedge-release-latest.noarch.rpm
dnf install -y \
      pgedge-postgresql18 \
      pgedge-spock50_18 \
      pgedge-snowflake_18 \
      pgedge-lolor_18 \
      pgedge-postgresql18-contrib \
      pgedge-pgbackrest \
      pgedge-python3-psycopg2 \
      python3-pip
pip install 'patroni[etcd,jsonlogger]==4.1.0'

rpm -i <path to rpm file>

systemctl start pgedge-control-plane.service

From there, you can interact with it as normal, e.g.:

curl http://localhost:3000/v1/cluster/init

Keep in mind that the host ID will default to the machine's short hostname.

To tail the control-plane logs, do:

journalctl -u pgedge-control-plane.service --follow

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

RPM packaging configuration added to the build system, including nfpms metadata in goreleaser configuration and new systemd service unit file with associated configuration for managing the pgedge-control-plane process at runtime.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary

Service Package Contents packaging/config.json, packaging/pgedge-control-plane.service	New systemd unit file defining service startup, restart behavior, and state/configuration directories; accompanying config file with orchestrator and data directory settings.

Poem

🐰 A package bundled up so neat,
With systemd service to keep it running sweet,
From config files to RPM delight,
The Control Plane now starts just right! ✨

Hey, the SELinux part from the ticket is missing no policy file, and no %post/%postun scripts to load/remove it.

Before we add it, is this actually needed?

Good call out! No, this is not needed. I was able to make a code change to make everything work with SELinux enabled and with the default policies.
