As per x86-64-ABI In addition to the AMD64 baseline architecture, several micro-architecture levels implemented by later CPU modules have been defined, starting at level x86-64-v2.

RHEL9 has a higher CPU requirement than older versions, it now requires a CPU compatible with x86-64-v2 instruction set or higher. Until now, there was no check for this and the upgrade crashed unexpectedly. This commit handles this issue and provides the user with a report explaining the problem.

The CPU Features are gathered using the lscpu command by way of using the ScanCPU actor. The ScanCPU actor had to be also modified to provide the required flags. The mapping of CPU Features to flags provided by lscpu has been determined by using the /arch/x86/include/asm/cpufeatures.h file from the linux kernel.

Jira ref.: OAMG-8619

@dkubek the commit msg and description says that RHEL 9 requires x86-64-v2 and higher, but it requires x86-64-v3 and higher

Update: segfault in mind. ignore the comment. it's correct

As per [x86-64-ABI][1] In addition to the AMD64 baseline architecture,
several micro-architecture levels implemented by later CPU modules have
been defined, starting at level ``x86-64-v2``.

RHEL9 has a higher CPU requirement than older versions, it now requires
a CPU compatible with ``x86-64-v2`` instruction set or higher. Until
now, there was no check for this and the upgrade crashed unexpectedly.
This commit handles this issue and provides the user with a report
explaining the problem.

The CPU Features are gathered using the ``lscpu`` command by way of
using the ``ScanCPU`` actor. The ``ScanCPU`` actor had to be also
modified to provide the required flags. The mapping of CPU Features to
flags provided by ``lscpu`` has been determined by using the
``/arch/x86/include/asm/cpufeatures.h`` file from the linux kernel.

- Fix the generation of the report about hybrid images (oamg#1064)
- Handle correctly the installed certificates to allow upgrades with custom repositories using HTTPs with enabled SSL verification (oamg#1106)

### Enhancements
- Include updated leapp data files in the RPM (oamg#1046, oamg#1092, oamg#1119)
- Update the set of supported upgrade paths (oamg#1077):
  - RHEL with SAP HANA 7.9 -> 8.6, 8.8 (default: 8.6)
  - RHEL with SAP HANA 8.8 -> 9.2
- Introduce new upgrade paths:
  - RHEL 7.9 -> 8.9 (default)

- [IPU 8 -> 9] Detect and report use of deprecated Xorg drivers (oamg#1078)
- [IPU 8 -> 9] Introduce IPU for systems with FIPS enabled (oamg#1053)

## Additional changes interesting for devels
- Deprecated `GrubInfo.orig_device_name` field in the `GrubInfo` model (replaced by `GrubInfo.orig_devices`) (oamg#1093)
- Deprecated `InstalledTargetKernelVersion` model (replaced by `InstalledTargetKernelInfo`) (oamg#1107)
- Deprecated `leapp.libraries.common.config.version.is_rhel_realtime` (check the type in msg `KernelInfo`, field `type`) (oamg#1107)
- Deprecated `leapp.libraries.common.grub.get_grub_device()` (replaced by `leapp.libraries.common.grub.get_grub_devices()`) (oamg#1093)
- Introduced new devel envar LEAPP_DEVEL_KEEP_DISK_IMGS=1 to skip the removal of the created disk images for OVL. That's sometimes handy for the debugging. (oamg#1097)
