add addons/python_switch_el8.sh to manage Python versions in 131.00stable

- add addons/python_switch_el8.sh to manage default Python versions for EL8 operating systems default to Python 3.6 with options via App Stream modules to switch to Python 3.8 or 3.9. EL9 defaults to Python 3.9 with no options to switch versions. So below examples are for EL8 OSes AlmaLinux/Rocky Linux 8 only.
