Update to use current yum repositories for IBM i 7.3.
Install Python 3.9, and use it to install tap2junit.
Do not set group on the .ssh directory on platforms such as IBM i and z/OS where we do not create a group.

I've deployed this on the two iinthecloud and the rzkh hosted IBM i machines.

Test build has failed: https://ci.nodejs.org/job/node-test-commit-ibmi/1161/nodes=ibmi73-ppc64/console
Looks like it's failed to detect the architecture properly -- probably as a result of now running with Python 3.9.

Trying nodejs/node#48056 -- looks like some updates were missed from nodejs/node#46739 (presumably because IBM i dynamically link OpenSSL for their rpms).

From nodejs/node#48056 (comment) it sounds like an additional V8 change is needed to allow Node.js to build with Python 3.9 on IBM i. For now I've edited node-test-commit-ibmi to use Python 3.6 (PYTHON=/QOpenSys/pkgs/bin/python3.6) to build Node.js. We need Python 3.9 on the system to run the updated tap2junit.

https://ci.nodejs.org/job/node-test-commit-ibmi/1166/nodes=ibmi73-ppc64/ completed with the three known test failures, so merging.

When built with Python 3.9 on IBM i, `process.platform` will return `os400` instead of `aix`. In preparation for this, make `common.isAIX` only return true for AIX and update the tests to add checks for `common.isIBMi` where they were missing.
