At least some installs of these versions will set the full release version in the DNF variables instead of only setting the major version, but DNF on these platforms supports just templating in the major version, so do that instead.

Pull request overview
This PR fixes an issue where some RHEL 9/10 installations set the full release version instead of just the major version in DNF variables. The solution uses $releasever_major for repository URLs on RHEL 9+ platforms, and explicitly sets version numbers for Amazon Linux to avoid relying on defaults.
Changes:
- Updated repository configuration to use
$releasever_majorfor RHEL 9+ instead of$releasever - Explicitly set version number for Amazon Linux 2 instead of relying on defaults
- Bumped package version from 5-2 to 5-3 in both RPM and DEB changelogs
