Enable fast-datapath-for-rhel subscription in old way

On RHEL system, if someone wants to install the MicroShift in old way,
it will miss required package: centos-release-nfv-openvswitch
that is necessary to deploy MicroShift (it provides Open vSwitch).
The package installation requires few other packages, that might make
the RHEL system unstable, so it is more safe to enable fast-datapath-for-rhel
subscription.

This is a temporary workaround until we drop CentOS support for
that project (only RHOCP version would be available).

NOTE: Without this patch, installing legacy version on RHEL will be not possible due it require Open vSwitch.
This pull request is just helpful for community. The CI and dev hosts will use RHOCP version. We can drop that PR if we decide that installing old rpm packages RHEL system is not necessary.
