RPMs have particular ordering quirks in the dependency chain so we have to select the right package set and order when fips mode is on. Without this, redpanda pulls in redpanda-rpk which conflicts with the redpanda-rpk-fips package. So we need to pull in the rpk-fips package first, and then the rest of the package chain.

Second attempt at getting automated fips installs, now working with the new consolidated package deployment mechanism for supporting 24.3 releases correctly.
There are two variables to pay attention to:
If enable_fips=true and fips_mode=enabled, we also proactively check the state of the OS deployment's FIPS support. If the OS appears to be incorrectly configured for FIPS, we have an assert that bails out. This assert can be bypassed by setting fips_mode=permissive.
