Please update centos-latest runners

Summary

I noticed today that even though the standard runners used in many projects labeled centos-latest are (in contrast to its name) not really up to date with latest centos-stream. They still base on centos-8 that is EOL since December 31, 2021.

What is the current bug behavior?

centos-latest points to an EOL version of centos.

What is the expected correct behavior?

centos-latest points to a recent, not EOL version of centos.

Impact

With the migration of SWT to centos-9 for producing binaries it will become prominent that many projects use outdated "latest" centos that is still based on centos 8 and probably fail to run tests when using still outdated OS.
