[Solid_software] solid_gemc with apptainer at EL9

[Zhiwen Zhao]

All

As root inside the container has some problems displaying graphics, we usually run analysis codes with a root 
installation outside.
At the latest ifarm ALMA9, a working root can be loaded as follows
run "module use /scigroup/cvmfs/hallb/clas12/sw/modulefiles" then "module load root"
