Add OracleLinux9 support for IWS10.1

OracleLinux9 has become the standard in customer environments.
However, FTA10.1.0.5 does not support OracleLinux9.
https://www.ibm.com/software/reports/compatibility/clarity-reports/report/html/osForProduct?deliverableId=3DBCDF8AEB8C4871A77E4DFE93701A66&osPlatforms=Linux&duComponentIds=A004|A001|
Since 10.2 (PolicyType: Continuous Delivery) has a shorter lifecycle than 10.1 (PolicyType: Enhanced), the policy is not to adopt 10.2 in customer environments.
  10.1 : https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/6556928
  10.2 : https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7014883

In a situation where FTA10.1.0.5 does not support OracleLinux9, IWS cannot be used.

    "Since 10.2 (PolicyType: Continuous Delivery) has a shorter lifecycle than 10.1 (PolicyType: Enhanced)"

    IBM will not declare end of lifecycle (EOL) for 10.2 until at least one year after EOL for 10.1, regardless of the supported lifecycle policy for the release. We offer extended support for up to 4 years which puts the CD delivery on par with an Enhanced software lifecycle.

    "the policy is not to adopt 10.2 in customer environments.

    Continous delivery provides up to date security enhancements and prioritized feature updates that clients have asked for, such as improvements in certification handling. There are many reasons I would encourage the dissolution of any policy that discourages upgrading beyond 10.1.

    This version of OracleLinux9 is already supported on IWS 10.1 and 10.2.
