DNF isn't used on CentOS.  Stop.

If you want to learn about things that aren't part of CentOS, please do feel
free, there's excellent documentation online.

It may not work as expected:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1258416#c15

It seems that libsolv (a dnf dependency) might appear in RHEL 7.3 so dnf might
work once CentOS has rebuilt it, but I wouldn?t count on using dnf any time
soon.
