All the supported version have a recent enough glibc, so we can install the most recent agents there. Our RHEL version checking isn't compatible with Amazon linux 2023 which causes us to prevent installing any version above 7.51 there.

We are currently failing to detect the distribution on Amazon Linux 2023. It gets detected as RHEL with an unknown version, meaning it will be 0.
This causes the RHEL 6 and earlier logic to kick in, which means we can't install the agent 7.51+ on AL2023.
Additionally, this attempts to work around a questionable ansible behavior which insists on using the yum package manager, even though DNF is available. We in turn attempt to use the
yummodule which isn't compatible with python 3, which is the only python version available on AL2023Should fix issues reported in AGENT-12306 and AGENT-12261
