CI: Fix python3.6 runs using still-maintained Leap 15.6 based image

[okurz]

This is my attempt related to #67 (comment) to fix the python3.6 build.

Right now this fails with

Run actions/[email protected]
/usr/bin/docker exec  5133eb473d09635d90b10b0a1a3c2ea3c1156a123ba8371e21331bf710dfbacf sh -c "cat /etc/*release | grep ^ID"
Installed versions
  Version 3.6 was not found in the local cache
  Error: The version '3.6' with architecture 'x64' was not found for this operating system.
  The list of all available versions can be found here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/actions/python-versions/main/versions-manifest.json

I assume setup-python doesn't support an openSUSE Leap base but I am not sure what it means exactly. Help appreciated.

EDIT: I guess I can skip setup-python on 3.6 and instead patch the image to provide dependencies myself. Now fails in https://github.com/os-autoinst/openQA-python-client/actions/runs/17551512131/job/49844883023?pr=73#step:7:43 not being able to find install.requires. Should we change the working directory in the image?

hm, might help.

No, still failing. Also trying to make the path to install.requires absolute does not help:

Thanks a lot for working on this, but don't kill yourself if it's not critical for you, @okurz . It's a nice-to-have not critical for me. If it's too much effort we can just go ahead and disable Python 3.6 and say we tried, maybe file a low-priority ticket that it'd be nice to add it back if anyone can figure it out.

I guess it's fine if we just disable python 3.6 and handle any issues downstream as necessary. For a project as mature and slow-moving as openQA-python-client I guess compatibility issues will be unlikely
