Remove packages from the distribution:
* createrepo
* yum
* yum-langpacks
* yum-utils
* yum-metadata-parser
* yum-updatesd
* python-urlgrabber
All these packages should no longer be used and all software using
them should be migrated to DNF.
I have a couple of older OSes I often need to do builds for in mock,
which OSes use yum natively. Unfortunately pyrpkg doesn't have any way
to invoke mock with --dnf, so when mock attempts to construct the
chroot it tries to use yum to do it. With this change (or indeed
already on my F29 machine without yum installed) I would no longer be
able to use fedpkg to build for those OSes.
Obviously I can work around this by invoking mock manually with an
appropriate config file, but it would be pleasant if pyrpkg was fixed
as well.
