repoman should support creating el7Server link to el7 repo

Description

ovirt-release-master-experimental.rpm contains link to the repo:
baseurl=http://resources.ovirt.org/repos/ovirt/experimental/master/latest.tested/rpm/@DIST@$releasever/
Which is evaluated as http://resources.ovirt.org/repos/ovirt/experimental/master/latest.tested/rpm/el7Server/
while the correct path is
http://resources.ovirt.org/repos/ovirt/experimental/master/latest.tested/rpm/el7/

The problem is in $releasever variable which is equal to 7Server:

  1. python -c 'import yum, pprint; yb = yum.YumBase(); pprint.pprint(yb.conf.yumvar, width=1)'
    Loaded plugins: langpacks, product-id
    {'arch': 'ia32e',
    'basearch': 'x86_64',
    'releasever': '7Server',
    'uuid': '9347b085-7ce7-4150-8903-e5af4f78a37c'}

I do not see this option in repoman. We create those symlinks from other scripts. However I think it might be ok to have this option in repoman, so will see how it is best to implement and add it.

Works now thanks to manual repos created, but we need to check how to make repoman create those subdirs as part of the deployment.

We probably should make the experimental repo support links like '7Server', like the downstream repos do.
I think repoman can already do this so its probably just a matter of placing some configuration option somewhere (probably the deploy-to-ovirt-experimental-* jobs)

please confirm repoman can do this and specify how to configure it.

I did a workaround for our machines by setting /etc/yum/vars/releasever to be '7'

The problem is in specific mock configuration in jenkins/experimental jobs
config_opts["releasever"] = "7"
It means releaserver varible is set to "7" instead of "7Server" which is default in rhel7, centos, epel. That's why release rpm works only on specific systems.
