dnfdragora doesn't keep in memory the packages source list

reported https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21453

Description of problem: open dnfdragora: a window opens, click on "files > package sources" : the window "packages sources manager" opens, displaying a list of sources: only two boxes are checked by default: mageia-x86_64 and updates-x86_64; I have selected mageia-i586, updates-i586 and a couple of others, then I have click on the "apply button" and quitted dnfdragora; it didn't keep my choice in memory, since after running successively as root, and in this order, the commands:

dnf upgrade urpmi --auto-update

(which returns you'll find in the attached documents) shows that dnf took into account only updates-x86_64 and not upgrades-i586

I came here with, I think, the same issue. After testing some dnf cli query commands and not finding packages the urpmf|q tools see, I opened "Repository Management" in the dnfdragora gui and checked off my other active repos, thinking this was the problem.

Returning to cli, there was no difference and I see dnfdragora does not implement my choices, even after run as root.

Remarkably, it does display opera, vivaldi, and google-talkplugin repos, added to my system by those programs but small comfort, I'm afraid :P

This problem is due to dnfdaemon, we should implement something there, i thought to a workaround per user, but it is pretty ugly... so i discarded it. @Conan-Kudo should we move this to dnfdaemon?

I've been thinking about pulling in a variation of the dnf config-manager code into dnfdaemon. Then the UI could use that API for manipulating repositories and main configuration.
