WebSphere toolbox should be ugpraded to fp21 like other websphere component.

Hello, during this days I'm using this playbooks to install an environment and while I was installed a multi node installation of Connections with the setup-connections-only.yml I run into a fail after connections install.

the os is Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 8.5 (Ootpa)

after some verification I saw the issue was into the java embedded to the WAS toolbox that wasn't running causing the failure

./versionInfo.sh libjvm.so preloadLibrary(/opt/IBM/WebSphere/Toolbox/java/jre/lib/i386/libjava.so): libnsl.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Could not create the Java virtual machine

I 've downloaded and installed the FP21 for Toolbox from IBM site

8.5.5-WS-WCT-FP021-part1.zip 8.5.5-WS-WCT-FP021-part2.zip

The install also upgrade the Tollbox jvm from 1.6 to 1.8

`./imcl install com.ibm.websphere.WCT.v85_8.5.5021.20220202_1245 -repositories /root/wct/ -acceptLicense [root@elpaso tools]# ./imcl install com.ibm.websphere.WCT.v85_8.5.5021.20220202_1245 -repositories /root/wct-f21/ -acceptLicense Updated to com.ibm.websphere.WCT.v85_8.5.5021.20220202_1245 in the /opt/IBM/WebSphere/Toolbox directory. WARNING: The version of Java SE in the WAS_HOME/java directory was updated to Java SE 8

now both ./versionInfo.sh and java -version are running with the updated JVM 8
