v1.156

What's Changed

Due to the size of this release, PRs are grouped below. In brief:

• This release addresses various breakages caused by changes to upstream repos. As a result, as of this release the StackHPC images (see below) ship with all dnf repos disabled and either credentials for StackHPC's ark server or a local Pulp server mirrored from ark are required in order to build images.
• OFED and CUDA are no longer shipped in StacHPC images and require an image build to add.
• StackHPC images move to RockyLinux 9.5 and 8.10.
• Added support for NVIDIA DOCA instead of OFED.
• Added support for Lustre clients.
• OpenHPC role supports using the same nodes in multiple partitions/groups.
• Additional packages can be added via appliances_default_extra_packages.
