Pillow's oss-fuzz is currently failing, because Pillow main has [dropped
support for Python
3.8](python-pillow/Pillow#8183).

#12027 attempts to resolve this by upgrading the base builder to Python
3.10, but the [latest status
update](#12027 (comment))
over there says that Pillow [fails in that branch
with](https://oss-fuzz-gcb-logs.storage.googleapis.com/log-e19625fb-a984-47b1-be32-f92b4c76fc7f.txt)

So this pull request removes the python symlink in order to try and

Until a global solution is provided for #11419, this installs Python 3.9
to allow Pillow to work again.
