Install only newly recommended packages on upgrades with dnf/PackageKit/microdnf

We would like to change a default behavior dnf/PackageKit/microdnf to install only newly recommended packages on upgrades. Internally we will change exclude_from_weak_autodetect configuration option to True. exclude_from_weak_autodetect enables autodetection of unmet weak dependencies (Recommends or Supplements) of installed packages and blocks installation of packages satisfying already unmet dependencies. In other words: When you don't have the recommended package installed, it won't be automatically installed with future upgrades of the recommending package.

Switch GnuTLS to allowlisting

Presently, crypto-policies controls GnuTLS in a way that "hard-disables" select algorithms, leaving no option for the applications using GnuTLS to reenable said algorithms back. We propose switching to more future-proof allowlisting-based configuration method and offering API within GnuTLS to loosen the system defaults for specific processes.

The ansible project has re-organized how they release and distribute ansible.

It will also make authselect work on CoreOS and other rpm-ostree systems.
