Make `global-setup.sh` check if packages are installed before trying
to install them
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: OVIRT-1831

https://ovirt-jira.atlassian.net/browse/OVIRT-1831
Project: oVirt - virtualization made easy
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Jenkins Slaves
Reporter: Barak Korren
Assignee: infra
The way '{{global-setup.sh}}' works currently is that it tries to install all the
packages it needs in a single yum command and then runs in a loop and checks if the
packages were installed properly.
If the packages are already installed this takes a negligible amount of time on CentOS
slaves, but on Fedora it seems to take much longer and as much as 2 minutes.
We should try to make '{{global-setup.sh}}' faster by making it not try to
install packages before checking if they are there, but instead check first and only try
to install the missing ones.
Note that if we'll install multiple packages in a single command, we'll still
need to verify they were properly installed after the yum/dnf command finishes.
