Description

When upgrading to 1.30 or 1.31 the Azure Monitoring Agent fail on Alma Linux 9.3 and 9.4 with the following errors:

```
May 31 12:21:22 db amacoreagent[5430]: The required instruction sets are not supported by the current CPU.
May 31 12:21:22 db systemd[1]: Started Process Core Dump (PID 5432/UID 0).
May 31 12:21:23 db systemd-coredump[5433]: Resource limits disable core dumping for process 5430 (amacoreagent).
May 31 12:21:23 db systemd-coredump[5433]: Process 5430 (amacoreagent) of user 0 dumped core.
May 31 12:21:23 db systemd[1]: systemd-coredump@48-5432-0.service: Deactivated successfully.
May 31 12:21:23 db systemd[1]: azuremonitor-coreagent.service: Main process exited, code=dumped, status=6/ABRT
May 31 12:21:23 db systemd[1]: azuremonitor-coreagent.service: Failed with result 'core-dump'.
```

The issue was resolved by downgrading to 1.29.6.
(Please make it possible to downgrade from Azure Arc/Extension if you continue to wreck newer versions. 😀 )

The servers in questions are Azure Arc-enabled standard minimal Alma Linux 9.3/9.4 running on VMware ESXi in an on-premises datacenter.
