ciscoPacketTracer9: init at 9.0.0

[gepbird]

Closes #475698.

This is the next version of an existing package, ciscoPacketTracer8.
The main changes are newer dependencies (e.g. qt5 -> qt6, no more vulnerable qt web engine) and instead of upstream distributing a "regular" deb file that has all the binaries and libraries, we get a deb file that has an appimage. Inside the appimage, the files are similar to what is in version 8's deb.

If you want to try and run this without registering an account, I recommend downloading 9.0.0 from here.

The package seems to work well, I tested it on a KDE Plasma VM.
The desktop files have the icon, the main desktop file opens the app. For the first time login is required, by default it tries to open it in the system browser which does nothing for me, after going into Advanced Settings and checking "Use internal web browser for Cisco Networking Academy login", logging in works just like in version 8.
Tested a basic networking configuration with a router and PC, no issues. In a browser I opened a Packet Tracer Skills Assessment task in one of my courses, starting the assessment launched the PTSA desktop file, and loaded the simulation.

Applied the same fix as #452755 for some wayland users.

Looks good to me.
I built it, ran it, logged in, and played around with the simulation a little. No issues.

As the package uses requireFile to avoid legal issues, it will fail to build automatically, you manually need to download it and to your nix store.

Ok, thanks for the clarification. I trust you on the testing. Diff looks fine.
