3665546 - Prerequisite to Remove the lock for RHEL 8.x and requirements (Prechecks) to upgrade OS version to 8.9/8.10.

When attempting to update RHEL for SAP systems on cloud images (AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud) from versions 8.6–8.9 to 8.10, the update process fails or does not find the proper repositories.
This occurs because RHEL for SAP 8.10 is not available via the E4S/EUS repositories used in previous versions, and instead uses unversioned repositories.

Additionally, systems with a release lock set (e.g., subscription-manager release --set=8.8) cannot access 8.10 packages until the lock is removed.
