This PR corrects two things in our CentOS instructions:

  1. On CentOS/RHEL 8 there apparently is no executable named "python" by default and at the very least we don't install one because certbot-auto uses "python3" on the platform. As a result our cron instructions to use "python" to sleep do not work. See https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/crontab-setup-on-centos-8-with-apache/111043.
  2. With Fix certbot-auto regarding python 3.4 -> python 3.6 migration for CentOS 6 users certbot#7519, we no longer use EPEL on CentOS/RHEL 6 anymore so we shouldn't be telling RHEL 6 users to enable EPEL manually before running certbot-auto.

fix RHEL 8 instructions (#609)
b9b22a5 
As reported at https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/selinux-should-the-log-files-be-var-log-t-or-cron-log-t/128552/2, our renewal instructions for CentOS/RHEL 8 don't work. We initially fixed this in #528 but broke it in #581. This PR fixes them again.
