Game plan: EL6 Deprecation (v3.3.0)

[arm4b]

Per Roadmap (https://docs.stackstorm.com/roadmap.html#id1), CentOS 6 / RHEL 6 will be fully deprecated and removed in the v3.3.0 release.

This includes a lot of very easy and small tasks related to OS cleanup across the StackStorm repositories and we encourage Community to help there. There are perfect tasks for the new Contributors and will introduce you to the different platform places.

Here are the pointers in different StackStorm org repositories to remove the el6 support:

@armab happy to take a stab at st2-packages, I will check with the community if I get stuck somewhere.
