Add lndir to standard containers (el7, el8, el9)

[kpedro88]

The lndir utility is often useful for various purposes and has typically been included in host OS distributions. Can it be added to the standard CMS containers?

Fermilab and lxplus have imake-1.0.7-11.el8.x86_64 on the EL8 nodes and imake-1.0.8-6.el9.x86_64 on the EL9 nodes.

I tried running yum install imake in a Docker build from base sl:7. It finds 1.0.5-10.el7 and lndir gets installed. So I think we can just add this to the dockerfile. (In some other OSes, lndir is distributed as part of xorg, which hosts it at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/util/lndir. As usual, RHEL has to be special...)

@kpedro88 , I was not able to install it from epel or other yum repos. If you know how to do it then please open a PR.

[kpedro88]

@smuzaffar it appears to come from the sl repo at http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/obsolete. Is it okay to add this repo to the list in our el7 container? If so, I will go ahead and prepare a PR after some more testing.

[smuzaffar]

@kpedro88 , yes it is ok to add this repo but please do it at the end so that all other packages still gets installed from epel/cern repos.
