Today's nightly failed on the new machines.

Looks to be because d721593 moved the Python 3.12 set up for RHEL 9 from baselayout to the tap2junit set up -- and the release machines don't install tap2junit so we were only left with the system Python 3 (3.9). I'll open a follow up PR to fix.

ansible: install Python 3.12 on RHEL 9 machines (#4484)
0cebb10 
System Python (3.9) is too old for Node.js' scripts. For the test
machines, newer Python 3 was installed in tap2junit set up, but we
do not install tap2junit on the release machines.

Install Python 3.12 as a virtualenv as part of baselayout, but do
not replace `/usr/bin/python3` so it continues to point to system
Python 3.9 and not break dnf.
