We had a successful second release, I'm declaring this feature working.
You should now be able to point to the "latest" images and sha-sums and
always get the latest versions.

Examples:
https://cloud.centos.org/centos/9-stream/x86_64/images/CentOS-Stream-GenericCloud-9-latest.x86_64.qcow2
https://cloud.centos.org/centos/9-stream/x86_64/images/CentOS-Stream-GenericCloud-9-latest.x86_64.qcow2.SHA256SUM
Those currently point to the 20230605.0 images, but next week they will
point to next weeks images.
