OCPBUGS-57386: Add retries for external dependencies

[jupierce]

Replaces more dnf invocations than #1785 with function.

[openshift-ci]

Hi @jupierce. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a openshift-metal3 member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work. Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.

It looks like #1785 should land before the current one?

[jupierce]

@andfasano this pull request is a superset of #1785 and covers significantly more surface area. I didn't know which the team would be more comfortable with. #1785 is the minimum to address issues discussed in OCPBUGS-57386. This PR covers the same class of issues, but across more of the code base.
