suggested cause and fix

suggested cause:

the distro of a "cs9-qemu-*" build, is AutoSD, version 9. however, there is no suitable runner in the path: /usr/lib/osbuild/runners/ (in source code: runners

suggested fix:

need to add a symlink in runners, just like was done with these 2 "unsupported" runners:

org.osbuild.arch

org.osbuild.centos8

symlink could be either added to osbuild source code, or to the image that is build.

dirty W/A

for example, a simple W/A would be to run:

pushd /usr/lib/osbuild/runners/
sudo ln -s org.osbuild.centos9 org.osbuild.AutoSD9
popd

in the image, after it is created.
