What does this MR do?

Update lowest git version support inside of CI

Why was this MR needed?

centos 6 has officially reach end of life. Start using centos 7 as are our base image for the oldest git version that is supported.

When we try to install git on a centos 6 machine the following error is shown:

$ yum install -y -q git && git version
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: base. Please verify its path and try again
YumRepo Error: All mirror URLs are not using ftp, http[s] or file.
 Eg. Invalid release/repo/arch combination/
