dpk setup --prereq: check for libnsl on OL8/RHEL8+ #55

Problem

psa dpk setup fails during Tuxedo clone on OL8/RHEL8+ because libnsl.so.1 is missing. Oracle Universal Installer's liboraInstaller.so depends on it, but OL8 removed libnsl from the base OS.

Error: liboraInstaller.so: libnsl.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Fix

Add libnsl to the prereq check in psa dpk setup --prereq. On OL8+, check for the package and either warn or auto-install with --fix.

Currently --prereq checks libncursesw.so.5 and libaio.so.1 — add libnsl.so.1 to the same list.

Context

Discovered during dpk-01 setup (2026-02-15). Fix was sudo dnf install -y libnsl.
