123.09beta01 branch

• Branch: centminmod/centminmod

Still XF 1.5 right now. This update is for CentOS 8 to use CSF Firewall. CentOS 7 already uses CSF Firewall with Centmin Mod.

Unfortunately CSF Firewall is here to stay as it's integrated and expected by other software that gets installed. But CSF Firewall is just a wrapper to IPtables just like Firewalld is an interface to IPtables in CentOS 7 at least. So you can just leave CSF Firewall in place and then use your normal IPTables rules and if they need to be done before CSF Firewall loads, add such IPTable rules in an executable permission set script in /etc/csf/csfpre.sh which load IPtable rules before CSF Firewall ones.
