Add support for chrony on el8 systems similar to ntpd for el7
Open Discussion
/usr/local/cpanel/scripts/rdate that's invoked during upcp needs to be updated to support chrony, which is the only supported time sync util on el8-based systems. Thanks.
if ( ( $sysinfo->{'rpm_dist'} eq 'centos' || $sysinfo->{'rpm_dist'} eq 'rhel' || $sysinfo->{'rpm_dist'} eq 'cloudlinux' ) && $sysinfo->{'rpm_dist_ver'} == 7 ) {
$pid = _detect_systemd_managed_ntpd();
I like this idea

On CentOS, CloudLinux, and AlmaLinux version 8 systems, scripts/rdate calls /usr/local/cpanel/bin/rdate to sync the system time. Neither chrony nor ntp are needed.

Correct, but we BLOCK outbound traffic and don't need rdate. rdate script needs to be updated to skip its check if chrony is installed, like it's doing currently when there's ntpd installed.
