Description of problem:
Recently subscription-manager separated out libraries for cloud detection, and we need to update the selinux policy to allow rhsmcertd to utilize the new library's cache.

This is required for a cloud improvement to ship for RHEL 8.5 (blocks 1922151).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
subscription-manager-1.28.20-1
selinux-policy-3.14.3-76.el8.noarch


Actual results: rhsmcertd cant access /var/cache/cloud-what.

Expected results: Need to be able to access cache file.
