mdpolicy=group:primary for mock yum distros

[Ville Skyttä]

Hello,

I've had mdpolicy=group:primary set for all yum-based distros in my
local mock configs for quite a while. I suppose it would be a good
default as AFAIK mock has no use for updateinfo or pkgtags metadata,
and groups metadata is only used during initial chroot setup if the
cmd contains a group, and it's downloaded whenever needed even with
mdpolicy set to group:primary.

Can anyone think of a reason why this wouldn't be a good idea in all
yum-based configs shipped with mock (epel-*.cfg, fedora-22-*.cfg,
fedora-23-*.cfg)? If not, I'll push this soon.

Makes sense to me. I'd say let's try it on a wider set of configurations and see
if anything breaks.

Ok, I've pushed this to make it easier to test.
