This attempts to allow servers which have Microsoft's YUM repo enabled to migrate some of the installed software. In particular, Microsoft actively submits their packages to upstream EL8 repositories, with some merges and splits.

Since the PES entries need to refer to the upstream repos (in particular, appstream), and since the PES ID for these change according to distro, the spec file also has been modified to treat this vendor's PES file as a template and to insert the proper ID based on the %{dist_name} being used to build the -data package.

This is probably not the best way of implementing a templating system for vendors. If something more generic is desired, we can discuss what that should look like.

The package mappings are almost certainly incomplete. I think I understand how the main .NET packages changed between 7 and 8, but the others (in particular the MS SQL packages) didn't cleanly map. Someone with more practical experience with the MS software stack on Linux is needed to complete what I've started here.
