Fix RPM installation for Fedora/CentOS by enforcing offline local install

This commit improves the robustness of the RPM installation step for
Fedora and CentOS by disabling all remote repositories when installing
the locally built package-manager RPM. This prevents failures caused
by flaky or mismatched upstream metadata (e.g., BaseOS repomd.xml
checksum errors). The installer now:

- uses 'dnf5/dnf/yum --disablerepo=*' for fully offline installation
- falls back to 'rpm -i --nodeps' if the package manager fails
- ensures deterministic CI builds without remote repo dependencies
