[CentOS-devel] Stream naming

I've been calling it CentOS Stream 8 and CS8. Our docker image is 
'cs8-base' and our cloud image is 'CS8 <date>'.

However, our Koji tags are '<tag>8s-<environment>' and the dist tags are 
'el8s.*'. We had to make that consistency trade-off to not 
over-complicate some internal tools and to try to reduce the chances of 
confusing Koji tag 'cern8' with 'cerns8'.

Cheers,
Alex
