      Description of problem:

      Execution of "foreman-rake katello:change_download_policy DOWNLOAD_POLICY=on_demand" or UI action "Content > products > select "Product" > select "repository" > select "Download Policy" > choose on_demand" to change the download policy fails for Red Hat repos if they had "Yum Metadata Checksum" value set to sha1 or sha256 instead of Default.

      Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

      Satellite 6.11 ( basically 6.10 and 6.13 as well )

      How reproducible:

      Always, when repository download policy is Immediate and checksum_type is set as sha1 or sha256 sum

      Steps to Reproduce:
      1. Install a Satellite 6.11 and enable a few Red Hat repos.
      2. Change their download policy to Immediate and sync them.
      3. Use any rake\DB hack to check checksum_type to sha1 or sha256 for any of those repos.
      e.g. it should look like

      1. echo "select id,name,download_policy,checksum_type,pulp_scratchpad_checksum_type from katello_root_repositories;" | su - postgres -c "psql foreman"
        . id | name | download_policy | checksum_type | pulp_scratchpad_checksum_type
        --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
        4 | Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Server - RH Common RPMs x86_64 7Server | immediate | sha256 |
        6 | Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Server - Extras RPMs x86_64 | immediate | sha1 |
        26 | Red Hat Software Collections RPMs for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Server x86_64 7Server | immediate | sha1 |

      4. Now either try executing "foreman-rake katello:change_download_policy DOWNLOAD_POLICY=on_demand"

      Or, From Ui go to , Content > products > select "Product" > select "repository" > select "Download Policy" > choose on_demand" to change the download policy

      Actual results:

      2023-01-08T19:05:43 [E|bac|1cffb129] Validation failed: Checksum type Checksum type cannot be set for yum repositories with on demand download policy. (ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid)

      And no way to change the "checksum_type" value from Satellite UI or hammer.

      Expected results:

      • We should be able to change the "checksum_type" in an acceptable way via UI or hammer.
      • The "katello:change_download_policy" should be improved to handle the unsettling of checksum_type before changing the download_policy.

      Additional info:

      • This issue can be fixed for any custom repos as Satellite allows changing the checksum_type or "Yum Metadata Checksum" value to "Default"
      • For Red Hat repos,
        • From UI, we have no option to edit\set the "Yum Metadata Checksum"
        • A command like "hammer repository update --id 79 --checksum-type 'sha1' --download-policy immediate" gets successfully executed but cannot set\unset the checksum ( here it's just an example to set sha1 as the value ).
