This group doesn't exist on any RHEL distro, and dnf itself only
exists in RHEL >= 8.  I htink we should be just listing the packages
we need explicitly rather than relying on a group whose name & contents
change over time.

I expect most people doing development work on libvirt are using
Fedora rather than RHEL,

I beg to differ :-)

But my distro will install all build dependencies when I want to install libvirt anyways, so good enough for me.
