AlmaLinux 9 & Centos 9 Stream builds can now be created for oVirt Nodes

When PR https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-node-ng-image/pull/146 lands you will be able to build oVirt nodes using AlmaLinux 9 (new) and Centos 9 Stream (fixed).

There are still a few issues with AlmaLinux 9, not because of AlmaLinux, but because the oVirt engine force enables a bunch of Centos 9 Stream repositories breaking the system. You can get around this by basically disabling those repositories in /etc/yum.repos.d/ as they appear – bugs will be filed with the engine.
