[ocp-]rhel-9.6: consume from RHEL 9.6 repos

RHEL 9.6 nightly content is already available to use so let's start
tracking that instead for the 9.6 variants.

Note that OCP is approved to use that content.

While we're here, enact https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHELPLAN-170883
where there was agreement that all container-related RPMs starting
from 4.19+ will come from RHEL. This is prep for
openshift/enhancements#1637.
