Make "dnf4" equivalent to "dnf"

And while on it, unify the `system_PM_command` with the rest of
PM-specific commands.

+Alias `dnf4` added for the `package_manager = dnf`.
+
+The options specific to DNF4, previously prefixed with `dnf_*`, have been
+renamed to `dnf4_*` too to avoid confusion with `dnf5_*` options.  For backward
+compatibility, the `dnf_*` prefixed variants still work, so these config pairs
+are equivalent:
+
+```python
+config_opts['dnf4_install_cmd'] = 'install python3-dnf python3-dnf-plugins-core'
+config_opts['dnf_install_cmd'] = 'install python3-dnf python3-dnf-plugins-core'
+
+config_opts['package_manager'] = 'dnf4'
+config_opts['package_manager'] = 'dnf'
+```
+
+Some of the `dnf_*` options remain unchanged because they are universal and used
+with DNF4, DNF5, or YUM, e.g., `dnf_vars`.
+
+While working on this rename, the rarely used `system_<PM>_command` options have
+been changed to `<PM>_system_command` to visually align with the rest of the
+package-manager-specific options. The old variants are still accepted.
