      Description of problem:
      Can 'satellite-clone' command be supported to skip OS LEAPP upgrade in Satellite 6.11

      Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
      Satellite 6.11 on RHEL 7.9
      Fresh RHEL 8

      How reproducible:

      Following steps shown to be successful:

      Steps to Reproduce:
      1. On Satellite 6.11 on RHEL 7 create backup:
      ]# satellite-maintain backup offline --skip-pulp-content /var/backup

      2. On fresh build RHEL 8 make /backup to move the above back to
      ]# mkdir /backup
      ]# ls /backup
      config_files.tar.gz metadata.yml pgsql_data.tar.gz

      3. On fresh RHEL8 register to Customer Portal and enable repositories:
      ]# subscription-manager repos --enable=rhel-8-for-x86_64-baseos-rpms \
      --enable=rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms \
      --enable=satellite-6.11-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms \
      --enable=satellite-maintenance-6.11-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms
      ]# dnf module enable satellite:el8

      4. Install satellite-clone:
      ]# dnf -y install satellite-lcone

      5. Run satellite-clone

      End result is the RH7 Satellite 6.11 database is restored on the RHEL8 server which has as part of running satellite-clone playbook effectively installed fresh Satellite 6.11@RHEL8 and restored the database on.

      Actual results:
      Have used satellite-clone to restore database of Satellite 6.11 on RHEL7 to a brand RHEL 8 where Satellite is installed and the backed up database is restored

      Expected results:
