Support "custom" repositories

Say I want to use a CentOS container, but the packages I need to install are in EPEL. I can just install epel-release, but since the templates run dnf install only once, they will not pick up the new repository.

This could be solved by including something like FDO_DISTRIBUTION_PREXEC, analogous to FDO_DISTRIBUTION_EXEC.

Another option is allowing to include ; in the FDO_DISTRIBUTION_PACKAGES string, split it and run as many commands as they exist.

There is a similar problem for other OS. This is done is a custom way in srht: https://man.sr.ht/builds.sr.ht/compatibility.md

Many thanks for this project, it's a life saver for CI.
