go-xcat's install list still named yaboot-xcat, which was obsoleted in the
xcat-dep 2.18 rebuild and is no longer published. It also lists the cross-arch
ppc64 genesis packages, which the arch-split 2.18 dep repo no longer places in
the x86_64 view an x86 management node reads. Because EL dnf is strict by
default, any one of these unresolvable names aborts the entire `dnf install`
transaction, so `go-xcat install` fails outright on EL9/EL10 even though every
package the node actually needs is available.
Drop yaboot-xcat from the install list (kept in the uninstall list so existing
installs are still cleaned up) and pass `dnf --setopt=strict=0` so a package
missing from the enabled repository is warned and skipped instead of failing
the whole install. The existing post-install smoke test still catches a
genuinely broken install.

Address ShellCheck warnings across go-xcat without breaking
distro detection. Key changes:
- Replace source /etc/os-release with awk parsing that strips
quotes, fixing detection on distros that quote ID/VERSION_ID
- Use $() instead of backticks for command substitution
- Quote $1 and file path variables in dnf/yum repo version checks
- Use ${FUNCNAME[0]} instead of ${FUNCNAME} for dispatch calls
- Fix $@ vs $* usage in string contexts (warn_if_bad, el9 check)
- Remove useless use of cat (UUOC) in pipe chains
- Escape $releasever/$basearch/$stream in CRB repo echo
- Use xargs instead of unquoted command substitution in rm
- Split local declaration and assignment per SC2155
- Fix minor typos (secert -> secret, preform -> perform)

Add a shared OMAPI policy helper for ISC DHCP and DDNS so administrators can select the key name, signing algorithm, and omshell path from the site table while preserving the existing xcat_key hmac-md5 default.
Keep local ISC updates from hanging indefinitely when omshell does not exit, and use a static host-declaration fallback for local Ubuntu ISC releases where omshell is unstable for xCAT host updates.

The xCAT-server build-readme script runs every tool in share/xcat/tools/
with --help during RPM packaging. At build time perl-xCAT is not installed,
so the compile-time 'use xCAT::DHCP::Backend' aborts before --help can run.
Switch to runtime require inside the remove-operation branch where the
module is actually needed.
Docker container lifecycle management (mgt=docker, mkdocker, rmdocker,
lsdocker) was added in 2015-2016 as an experiment targeting Docker API
v1.22 on Ubuntu only. Documentation and man pages were deliberately
removed in 2019 (PRs #6222 and #6324) with the original developer's
approval, noting that "the interface of Docker has become very simple
right now, so there is no value for xCAT to offer such functions."
The plugin was still being shipped but has had no functional code changes
since April 2016, was never listed as a valid mgt value in Schema.pm,
and no user ever filed an issue about it.
Removed:
- xCAT-server/lib/xcat/plugins/docker.pm (1,142 lines)
- xCAT/postscripts/setupdockerhost
- xCAT-server/share/xcat/scripts/setup-dockerhost-cert.sh
- xCAT-test/autotest/testcase/dockercommand/ (test cases)
- Docker attribute definitions in Schema.pm
- Client symlinks (mkdocker, rmdocker, lsdocker)
- Usage entries and dockerhost cert handling in credentials.pm
- Docker attribute documentation in man7 pages
The "Running xCAT in Docker" documentation (dockerized_xcat/) is
retained as it documents containerizing xCAT itself, not the removed
mgt=docker feature.
Closes#7518
