    add Rocky Linux security repo hint to cmsec CVE checks in 132.00stable

    Following Rocky Linux's announcement of an emergency `security` DNF
    repository on 2026-05-14, extend each cmsec check script's "Suggested
    next actions" output with a Rocky-side hint paralleling the existing
    AlmaLinux testing-repo block.

    Changes:
    - New per-CVE constant ROCKY_SECURITY_REPO_HAS_FIX adjacent to
    BASELINE_VERIFIED_DATE in each of the 5 check scripts; set "true" only
    for CVE-2026-43500 (RxRPC / kernel-modules-partner — verified on a
    Rocky 9.7 host that the security repo ships kernel-modules-partner
    5.14.0-611.55.1.el9_7.0.1), "false" for the other 4 CVEs since RHEL
    upstream patches reach Rocky baseos directly.
    - New elif branch parallel to the existing AlmaLinux if, gated on
    os_id="rocky" AND ROCKY_SECURITY_REPO_HAS_FIX="true" AND defensive
    file-presence check for /etc/yum.repos.d/rocky-security.repo (the
    exact filename ships in rocky-repos package).
    - AlmaLinux and Rocky branches are mutually exclusive (one host = one
    distro), so they share the same item-number slot in the suggested
    actions sequence (item "6." in 31431/43284/46300/46333; item "3."
    inside CVE-2026-43500's vulnerable case arm).
    - Updated stale comment ("Rocky Linux does not ship an equivalent
    end-user testing repo") to describe both distros' repo models.
    - No JSON contract, no dispatcher, no osdetect.sh, no cache-state-key,
    no Pushover changes. cmsec.sh sets QUIET=1 under --dmotd so new say()
    lines emit zero bytes on the login banner hot path.
