Fix countme bucket calculation

Actually use the system's installation time (if known) as the reference
point, instead of the first-ever countme event recorded for the given
repo.

This is what the dnf.conf(5) man page has been saying all along, the
code just never lived up to it.

This fixes the following issues:

1. Systems that only reach out to the repos after an initial period of
   time after their installation appear "younger" than they really are.

2. Prebuilt OS images may include repo persistdirs with countme cookies
   in them that were created at build time, making all instances spawned
   from those images (physical machines, VMs or containers) appear much
   "older" than they really are.

3. System upgrades cause the bucket to be effectively reset to 1 due to
   the fact that a changed $releasever value causes a new persistdir to
   be created.

Use the machine-id(5) file's mtime as the single source of truth.  This
file is typically tied to the system's installation or first boot where
it's populated by an installer tool or init system, respectively, and is
never changed afterwards.

Keep the "relative" epoch (first countme event) as a fallback method,
though.  This is useful on those systems that don't have a machine-id
file (such as OCI containers) but are still used long-term.  In those
cases, system upgrades aren't really a thing so the above point 3 does
not apply.

Some containers may also choose to bind-mount the machine-id file from
the host (such as what toolbox(1) does), in which case their age will be
the same as that of the host.  Conveniently, that's also what we want,
since the purpose of such containers is to blend with the host as much
as possible.
