R3997:04936473a58c: Initial packaging of dnf

Summary

This is the packaging of Dandified Yum (DNF), the next upcoming major version of Yum.
It does package management using RPM, libsolv and libdnf libraries.

It utilizes librepo for metadata handling and package downloads.
It uses libcomps to process composition group metadata.

DNF is being packaged for Solus to enable setting up containers/chroots of
RPM-based Linux distributions, specifically with tools like Mock for
building RPMs for RPM-based Linux distributions from within Solus.

This is required to update Mock to the latest version.

package.yml
8–9	I imagine GPL-2.0+ is sufficient?
26	Should this not be using `pkgconfig(libdnf)` ?
27	Should this not be using 'pkgconfig(librepo)` ?
28	Should this not be using `libcomps-devel`

package.yml
8–9	Possibly. I mimicked the license tags for the Fedora package and the openSUSE package to be on the safe side. Should I just change this to `GPL-2.0+`?
26	Strictly speaking, it requires the `hawkey` python binding that's part of `libdnf`. It doesn't use the development stuff (C API) stuff at all.
27	Strictly speaking, it requires the python binding that's part of `librepo`. It doesn't use the development stuff (C API) stuff at all.
28	Strictly speaking, it requires the python binding that's part of `libcomps`. It doesn't use the development stuff (C API) stuff at all.
