What This PR Changes

Make sure AlmaLinux-9 (which is among the canned Lima templates) continues to work.

FYI, the analog change actually fails for AlmaLinux-10 but that's a separate issue with the Lima mDNS script and its missing kernel-modules-extra-$(uname -r) dependency.

How I Tested This

Passed the Lima Github CI matrix.

If we are going to add almalinux-9, we have to consider:

  • why not add almalinux-10
  • why prefer alma over rocky

Almalinux is a major mainstream distro, and a lot of folks are using it. Adding almalinux-10 and rocky too would be even better to gain confidence, sure :-)

Due the flakiness of the CI, it is not realistic to cover both alma and rocky, and their multiple versions.

So we have to come up a reason why we should prioritize almalinux-9 over other ones.

Personally, I'd prefer almalinux-10. The only reason I didn't include it in the PR is because it actually fails CI systematically (due to a real bug, not a flakiness issue).
