AutoYaST add-on profile

Summary: basically #1172477, but for AutoYaST

I have the update repos added to my autoyast profile so that the latest
packages are installed from the start, rather than having to do the install and
then run updates.  See the attached file for details.  (It uses my internal
mirror for most repos, but this issue applies equally to
download.opensuse.org.)

I've started using $releasever in the AY profile so I don't have to modify it
for every new release.  This works, but the generated /etc/zypp/repos.d/*.repo
files contain the specific version (e.g. 15.3) rather than $releasever, so when
it comes time to upgrade to the next release, the documented upgrade procedure
of 'zypper --releasever ...' will not work.

Example:
<media_url>http://download.opensuse.org/update/leap/$releasever/sle/</media_url>
in the AY profile gets turned into
baseurl=http://download.opensuse.org/update/leap/15.3/sle in the repo file.

Note that this only applies to the URL -- $releasever in the name is left
unmodified.

It looks like this issue was originally fixed in AutoYaST in #972046; more
details on GitHub:
https://github.com/yast/yast-add-on/pull/28#issuecomment-291116098 .  However,
the code has been refactored since then and it seems the bug has reappeared.
