No description provided.

This compresses and shrinks the sparse contents of a raw disk image, allowing
large amounts of free disk (100GB) to be used in disk images that only take
up a modest amount of space (2GB) in OSDF.

NOTE: any VMU jobs using non-raw disk images must explicitly state the image
type.
We'd like to use Alma9 as the base GitHub runner image.  This change
adds the GitHub runner and Docker software as part of the Alma9 kickstart.

The choice to use raw instead of qcow2 for the VMU test images was deliberate: because we install a whole bunch of RPMs as part of the VMU tests, the image kept having to be resized and resized and performance was abysmal.

I think you should make a separate image for the GitHub runners instead of modifying the alma 9 one. This causes it to diverge from the other EL9 images, and we want them to be pretty bare because we want the VMU tests to be installing all the software (dependencies included).
