[RomanNikitenko]

What does this PR do?

• make machine-exec working for che-code editor in ubi-based containers
• see feat: Support running machine-exec in ubi-based containers eclipse-che/che-machine-exec#372
• use next tag of the machine-exec for the main branch

What issues does this PR fix?

• Machine-exec does not work for ubi-based images eclipse-che/che#23648
• https://redhat.atlassian.net/browse/CRW-11626

How to test this PR?

I used the following links to start a workspace and test machine-exec:

• ubi8-minimal:latest
• ubi9-minimal:latest
• ubi10-minimal:latest
• node:22-alpine3.22

Does this PR contain changes that override default upstream Code-OSS behavior?

• the PR contains changes in the code folder (you can skip it if your changes are placed in a che extension )
• the corresponding items were added to the CHANGELOG.md file
• rules for automatic git rebase were added to the .rebase folder

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Docker image now uses the next machine-exec image tag and installs binaries in architecture-specific assembly directories. Container initialization no longer prepares /checode/bin. The volume entrypoint starts ./machine-exec after selecting the runtime assembly and changing the working directory.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

FWIW, I tested by just running on UBI 8. Can confirm machine-exec starts without issues :

bash-4.4$ cat /proc/26/cmdline 
./machine-exec--url127.0.0.1:3333
bash-4.4$ readlink -f /proc/26/cwd/
/checode/checode-linux-libc/ubi8
bash-4.4$ cat /proc/26/status | grep -i state
State:  S (sleeping)
