Workaround package_nfs-utils_removed issue on bootable containers

[matusmarhefka]

The rule is affected by https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-74244 which causes that RHEL 10 bootable container hardened with STIG profile fails to build. Therefore, until this issue is resolved, we will have a special RHEL 10 only remediation which workarounds the problem on bootable containers.

Unfortunately, this doesn't work. The oscap-im still tries to remove nfs-utils, therefore, the build fails. There is a mix of reasons for that.

Firstly, the rule package_nfs-utils-removed still contains the bootc style remediation. You need to add a back end turn off:

--- a/linux_os/guide/services/nfs_and_rpc/package_nfs-utils_removed/rule.yml
+++ b/linux_os/guide/services/nfs_and_rpc/package_nfs-utils_removed/rule.yml
@@ -40,3 +40,5 @@ template:
     name: package_removed
     vars:
         pkgname: nfs-utils
+    backends:
+        bootc: "off"

Second, the nfs-utils is removed as a dependency of gssproxy which is removed because the removal of gssproxy is requested by rule package_gssproxy_removed. See the output of dnf from oscap-im run after we solved the first point.

Removing:
 gssproxy                 x86_64  0.9.2-8.el10         @System                                  269 k
Removing dependent packages:
 beakerlib                noarch  1.31.3-1.el10_0      @epel                                    442 k
 beakerlib-redhat         noarch  1-35.el9             @beaker-harness                           22 k
 nfs-utils                x86_64  1:2.8.2-0.el10       @System                                  1.3 M

I think you will need to handle the gssproxy similar way and also turn off the back end for the template in the rule package_gssproxy_removed.
