[DNF System Upgrade] Don't hardcode versions

Browse source 
The current version of the page includes hardcoded, obsolete references
to e.g. Fedora 28, 30, and 31, which can be confusing.

Replace references with attributes, and add a new one, `{NEXTNEXTVER}`
for the branched example.

Change the `--releasever=` number if you want to upgrade to a different release.
Most people will want to upgrade to the latest stable release, which is `{MAJOROSVER}`, but in some cases, such as when you're currently running Fedora `27`, you may want to upgrade just to Fedora `28`.
Most people will want to upgrade to the latest stable release, which is `{MAJOROSVER}`, but in some cases, such as when you're currently running an older release than `{PREVVER}`, you may want to upgrade just to Fedora `{PREVVER}`.
You can also use `{NEXTVER}` to upgrade to a link:https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/Branched[Branched] release, or `rawhide` to upgrade to link:https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/Rawhide[Rawhide]. Note that neither of these two are stable releases.

If you are upgrading to Rawhide, you will need to import the RPM GPG key for it.
This will be the highest numbered key version in `/etc/pki/rpm-gpg/`.
For example, if there is a Branched release that is `30`, then you should look for a `31`, and if there is currently no Branched release, it will be `30`:
