Fix dnf shell bug

[smjagtap]

Summary

Improves error handling and user feedback in DNF shell when dependency resolution fails.

Problem

Currently, when dependency resolution fails in DNF shell mode:

• Errors are only printed to stdout without proper logging
• Users don't receive actionable suggestions to resolve the issue
• Shell continues execution even after resolve failure

This makes troubleshooting dependency issues in shell mode much harder compared to regular DNF command mode.

Solution

This PR adds:

• Proper error logging via ex_Error() function
• Contextual suggestions based on the error type:
  • --allowerasing for conflicting packages
  • --skip-broken when strict mode is enabled
  • --nobest when best-only candidates fail
  • --setopt=optional_metadata_types=filelists for file dependency issues
• Prevents execution when resolve fails

Testing

• Tested with packages that have dependency conflicts
• Verified error logging works correctly
• Confirmed helpful suggestions are displayed
• Verified shell stops after resolve failure

Files Changed

• dnf/cli/commands/shell.py - Added error handling and user feedback.
• dnf/AUTHORS - Added Suresh Jagtap in AUTHORS.

While this code might work, I'm against it, from a conceptual point of view: dnf shell is an interactive Python session for debugging and meddling with the internal implementation. It's not intended for general use and thus adding "helpfull hints" to the error messages is not welcome.

DNF team discussed this pull request and concluded that enhancing dnf shell like that is not a problem. I will review the code from functional point of view and provide a feed feedback.

The code does not stop processing when a dependency error is encountered. Having this script:

# cat /tmp/test 
config exclude apr
run
install httpd
run
repository list

The output looks like this:

# PYTHONPATH=~test/dnf dnf4 shell /tmp/test; echo $?
Repository 'variables' is missing name in configuration, using id.

Nothing to do.
Complete!

As you can see it continues evaluating repository list command after failed run command.
Also doubling the dependency resolution error is not good.
