Add support for AmazonLinux 2

[PolaricEntropy]

Use Case

I'm using AmazonLinux 2 on Puppet nodes I want to use this module. That used to work before PR 667.

Describe the Solution You Would Like

If os.family is RedHat, but name is Amazon then skip the version requirement.

Describe Alternatives You've Considered

The current solution is to use 3.12.1, which makes us miss out on improvements.

Additional Context

AmazonLinux 2 is REHL 7 and thus has the os.family fact set to RedHat. Since the release version numbers describe the OS version it's in our AMI set to 2.2 which triggers a version check error.

Any update on this? Appears that everything else works for us using docker_compose we just have to comment out that fail condition. Tried overriding using the acknowledge_unsupported_os = true to also bypass it but gets caught on line #488 in the init.pp file

Currently we are not supporting Amazon Linux 2, but we could try to add compatibility for AmazonLinux 2.

[PolaricEntropy]

Made #788 to make the acknowledge_unsupported_os setting allow Amazon Linux 2. Allows us to use the module there even though it's not officially supported yet.
