Recent OpenShift releases require glibc 2.34+ which is only available in el9. The oc CLI from OCP 4.14+ won't run on el8.

  • Remove el8 case from install requirements
  • Update validation to require version >= 9
  • Remove oc.rhel8 extraction fallback
  • Simplify CI Dockerfile to RHEL9 only
  • Update README prerequisites
