General fixes

Fixed a timing issue that can cause an Enterprise BMC-based system to be in the No Connection state and the VMI connection to show as unavailable even though the VMI is actually connected to the HMC. This can occur when multiple Enterprise BMC-based systems are concurrently being connected to the HMC after an HMC restart.
Fixed an issue that caused the HMC to fail to fully power on and stop at the emergency shell when it was restarted following an HMC update that was performed after critical HMC data was restored.
Added a workaround for the issue where a keyboard configured with a non-US layout always changes to a US layout after it is disconnected and reconnected to the HMC. The workaround to reset the keyboard layout to its original non-US configuration is to log in as user hscpe with role hmcpe and execute "runsig -s 710". Restarting the HMC also resets the keyboard layout to its original non-US configuration.

Security fixes

Fixed Apache Tomcat vulnerability: CVE-2023-28709.
Fixed Java vulnerabilities: CVE-2023-21930, CVE-2023-21967, CVE-2023-21954, CVE-2023-21939, CVE-2023-21968 and CVE-2023-21937.
