Description
### Is there an existing issue for this?
- [x] I have searched the existing issues
### Current Behavior
altfiles missing from /etc/nsswitch.conf for both passwd and group
breaks services such as sssd and sshd as required users/groups are missing leaving unmapped uid/gid for important service files.
### Expected Behavior
changing authselect profile keeps altfiles and thus doesn't break services.
### Steps To Reproduce
```
authselect select sssd --force
authselect apply-changes
ls -lh /etc/ssh/sshd
```
group will not have ssh_keys, but instead some uid (e.g. 999)
### Anything else?
I have cloned the repo and modified the almalinux9.yaml manifest to include authselect as there is an upstream fix that I found in a Jira issue for RHEL. There's an authselect rpm script that needs to see /var/run/ostree-booted, which doesn't exist for subsequent Containerfile builds. It creates /usr/share/authselect/vendor/{minimal,sssd,winbind} profiles with the fixed altfiles addition for the el9 based images.
Add authselect to the base image container manifest.
