Include ZOAU as part of base Python

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

If using Python on zOS it is very likely it will be required to access zOS resources and therefore ZOAU will be required. To reduce the overheads associated with installing and maintaining 2 x products, ZOAU should come as part of the base Python install.

    Python, ZOAU, and OEF (Open Enterprise Foundation) offerings became z/OS bypassable requisites in July 2024. These products focus on IBM Z application modernization differently. Python is based on python.org open-source community releases. We do not plan to include ZOAU in Python.
