Patch io-event gem to drop epoll_pwait2 check for RedHat 9
What does this MR do?
Some distributions (e.g. RedHat 9.7) ship glibc 2.34 with backported epoll_pwait2 support tagged as GLIBC_2.35, causing binaries built there to fail on systems with a true glibc 2.34 (RedHat 9.6).
This change:
- Adds a new ruby-io-event software definition that rebuilds the io-event gem without the epoll_pwait2 check on RedHat 9 systems.
- Adds the ruby-io-event dependency to the gitlab project for RedHat 9.
- Adds a el_9? helper method to OhaiHelper for platform detection
https://github.com/socketry/io-event/pull/159 would avoid the need for this patching.
