ova: fix Photon 5 distro-sync failure due to alternatives/chkconfig conflict
iptables-1.8.13-2.ph5 and ebtables-2.0.11-4.ph5 now require the
alternatives package (introduced by Broadcom on April 9, 2026).
The Photon 5 minimal installation ships chkconfig which conflicts with
the new alternatives package, so it cannot be installed directly. The
fix installs alternatives via Ansible with --allowerasing before
distro-sync runs. This atomically replaces chkconfig with alternatives,
satisfying the iptables/ebtables dependency and allowing distro-sync to
complete successfully.
Validated with a live vSphere build against the testbed.
