[pca] SunRay (x86) patches don't show if not installed

[Richard Skelton]

Hi Stuart,
Oracle have stopped providing SunRay patches which can be installed 
using PCA and the patchdiag.xref
To get the latest SunRay patches you need to download the file 
p11659754_512_Solaris86-64.zip for Solaris X86.
This provides:-
rskelton: zipinfo p11659754_512_Solaris86-64.zip
Archive:  p11659754_512_Solaris86-64.zip
Zip file size: 269889310 bytes, number of entries: 3
-r--r--r--  2.2 unx     1283 tx defN 11-Jan-21 23:09 README.html
-rw-rw-r--  2.2 unx 198534938 bx stor 11-Jan-21 23:04 srss_4.2.zip
-rw-rw-r--  2.2 unx 71353259 bx stor 11-Jan-21 23:02 srwc_2.3.1.zip
3 files, 269889480 bytes uncompressed, 269888884 bytes compressed:  0.0%

When you unpack  srss_4.2.zip you run install and it patches your system.
Your SunRay server will then be 5.1.2

This is a real pain :-(
