Document symbols in dnf history list output #1936

This patch adds documentation for the symbols shown in the "Action(s)" and "Altered" columns of dnf history list.

The "Action(s)" column abbreviates the names of transaction actions when there was more than one action, e.g. a transaction that both installs and upgrades packages would be displayed as "I, U".

The "Altered" column prints some extra symbols when something unusual happened with the transaction, like if any warnings were printed or if it completed with a non-zero status.

Some language was taken from the yum man pages:
https://github.com/rpm-software-management/yum/blob/master/docs/yum.8. It appears we no longer use the "P" or "s" symbols.

Resolves https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2172067 (RhBug:2172067)
