This task is a part of epic: #1523

Enabler description

As a user I want to have more current versions of dependencies like ZOAU 1.3+, Python 3.12+ & ibm_zos_core version 1.10+ available such that the experience I had during Z Trial transfers more directly into versions of components available for my own environment.

Tasks:

[ ] add updated version of ansible-core
[ ] add updated version of open enterprise sdk for python (pyz)
[ ] add updated version of ZOAU
[ ] set up ketan/Marcel with the appropriate tooling and login credentials

NOTE- do not update any playbook files in this item.

Base box up and validated Fri/2 August. Updating software and testing m/f connection today.

Here is good and bad: Good - it can work Bad - it will be nowhere near new versions: ..... cygwin (I'll see if the sig's are still active) - doesn't support Python > 3.9 ..... ansible is stuck at 2.9.13 .... python install of ansible gets hung up on a missing wheel or rust compiler .... EVEN SO, the current/old demo works, and the "mainframe" is responding fine.

For this week, I'll get the new tiles set up for the change of content, then will research upgrading... I have python 3.12 of the main demo system... this is a limitation of cygwin.
