- Request for new playbook addition

Details:
The `fakeroot` tool is not directly installable on the RHEL7 machines ([s390x in particular](https://github.com/adoptium/infrastructure/issues/2954#issuecomment-1463910668)). This issue will cover identifying a suitable way of getting fakeroot on the machine which is a prerequisite for the test jobs.
