Install perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker in the backport agent images#606

Conversation
Several perl packages run `perl -MExtUtils::MakeMaker` during %prep (e.g. perl-DBI calls ExtUtils::MM_Unix->fixin). Without perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker in the agent image, that aborts with "BEGIN failed--compilation aborted", so `rhpkg/centpkg prep` fails before the CVE patch is even applied and the backport errors out. Add perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker to both the c9s and c10s images, alongside the other build macros, so perl package %prep can run. Seen on RHEL-184984 (perl-DBI, rhel-9.8.z), where every backport attempt failed in %prep. Assisted-by: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Problem
Several perl packages invoke
perl -MExtUtils::MakeMakerduring%prep(e.g. perl-DBI runsExtUtils::MM_Unix->fixin(...)). The backport agent images installperl-srpm-macrosbut notperl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker, so that call aborts:rhpkg/centpkg prepthen fails before the CVE patch is even fetched, and the backport errors out.Seen in production
RHEL-184984 (perl-DBI, CVE-2026-9698, rhel-9.8.z) — triggered via
ymir_todo, every backport attempt failed in%prepwith the above, landing onymir_backport_errored.Fix
Add
perl-ExtUtils-MakeMakerto bothContainerfile.c9sandContainerfile.c10s, alongside the other build macros, so perl package%prepcan run. (It pulls in the perl interpreter/toolchain it needs.) Kept the two images in sync.Assisted-by: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) noreply@anthropic.com
