Mock v4.1 (bugfix) released (and mock-core-configs v38.6)
Hello maintainers,
let me announce a bugfix/follow-up Mock v4.1 release. This release
- further stabilizes building with DNF5 in general
- builds with DNF4 are fixed for the future Fedora 39+ hosts where
'/bin/dnf' is DNF5 not DNF4
- 'dnf5' is used for installing bootstrap when DNF4 is not found
- Mock doesn't "Requires:" DNF anymore, just Suggests
The `mock-core-configs` package brings updated openEuler configs
(metalinks used instead of baseurls) and fixed logic for installing the
/bin/default.cfg link on EPEL 8.

Hello maintainers!
I'm glad I can announce that we have a new release of Mock v4.0 (the chroot
build environment manager for building RPMs). There are two rather big things
in this release, therefore the bump of the major version:
- There's a new support for the DNF5 package manager (which should be the
default one since Fedora 39)
- The '--use-bootstrap-image' feature was fixed so it is less demanding,
and thus newly works even if you run `mock --use-bootstrap-image`
inside a Podman container (or toolbox).
