Icewm config updated to support both CL7 and AL9 graphical environment

In the frame of Alma Linux 9 OS Desktop Environment finalization the Icewm configuration (the contents of the /virgoData/icewm directory) has been updated in order to be able to support at the same time both CL7 and AL9 environments.

The main mechanism for supporting multiple environments is the elimination of hardcoded paths inside the Icewm config file in favor of using just the name of the application executable (dataDisplay, metamedm, etc.) to be made available via the PATH mechanism in platform specific target directories under /virgo/InstallArea

The most important applications such as dataDisplay or the Automation clients (metamedm) have been ported to AL9 and can now be started from the Icewm menus. Some python GUI applications are still under porting and will progressively be made available.

Anyone is welcome to log into the AL9 user machines (using the ctrln cluster in ThinLinc) and provide feedback.
