docker/centos/Dockerfile: modify to use post-EOL CentOS 7
docker/dist/Dockerfile: modify to use Rocky Linux 9, revise tarball expansion steps to guarantee perlecs:perlecs file ownership; add README_GPG, README_SMOKE_TESTING, and generate_ca_and_certfiles.sh files
docker/dist/certfiles.tar.gz: replace certificates with updated ones
docker/dist/ecs-*.tar.gz: in ecs.cfg, add "--pinentry-mode loopback" to gpg commands (see README_GPG for additional info)

Ideas for Future Enhancements
send admin message when slow message status > 24 hours
add --reprocess feature(s) to ecstool
build PPM package
add more automated tests, especially for complex operations involving encryption and email
add option to use MIME (RFCs 2045-2049) for encrypted email instead of the existing basic ASCII Armor format (use Email::MIME?)
refactor and clean up code
improve method for handling encr_typ; allow for use of GnuPG with PGP2 protocol
modify handling of incoming messages to send admin email and not process message if subject line indicates message is from THIS_NODE
add option to tweak scan_mail loop in ecs_scan_mail, to insert 5 second delay and increase maximum loop count to 60 (i.e. what Australia did to accommodate Microsoft Exchange)
add option to tweak mbox_get_message function in ecs_scan_mail, to use MIME::QuotedPrint decode_qp function (another Microsoft Exchange workaround)
add ecstool option to process a cleartext file
allow for automatic reprocessing of self-signed message files
add ecstool option to decrypt and assemble a logical message consisting of multiple physical messages
