RHEL 8 (and other members of the RHEL family, such as Rocky Linux 8) ship with libcurl 7.61.

With the latest release, curl was made a hard requirement when compiling with the ng runtime, and the minimum version was bumped to 7.66. This means support for RHEL 8 was dropped when using the ng runtime.

This PR:

  1. Adds a CI job which tests on Rocky Linux 8
  2. Relaxes the curl requirement from 7.66 to 7.61

The changes look fairly minimal, and increase backward compatibility, so I hope this is worth the effort.

This version of libcurl ships with RHEL 8
