Photon OS is a RedHat derivative by VMWare targeting cloud environments.

This is currently WIP while I am working on this for a customer, but I open the PR now in order to gather feedback early.

tdnf(1) formats outdated packages lines in an unexpected way where a
line like

```
sudo.x86_64                                  1.9.5-2.ph4          photon-updates
```

has this representation:

```
20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20  20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20  |                |
20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20  20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20  |                |
20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20  20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20  |                |
20 20 70 68 6f 74 6f 6e  2d 75 70 64 61 74 65 73  |  photon-updates|
0d 20 20 20 20 20 20 20  20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20  |.               |
20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20  20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20  |                |
20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20  20 20 20 20 20 20 31 2e  |              1.|
39 2e 35 2d 32 2e 70 68  34 0d 73 75 64 6f 2e 78  |9.5-2.ph4.sudo.x|
38 36 5f 36 34 0a                                 |86_64.|
```

while the code expect this:

```
73 75 64 6f 2e 78 38 36  5f 36 34 20 20 20 20 20  |sudo.x86_64     |
20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20  20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20  |                |
20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20  20 20 20 20 20 31 2e 39  |             1.9|
2e 35 2d 32 2e 70 68 34  20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20  |.5-2.ph4        |
20 20 70 68 6f 74 6f 6e  2d 75 70 64 61 74 65 73  |  photon-updates|
0a                                                |.|
```

that is:

```
                                                                  photon-updates<CR>
                                             1.9.5-2.ph4<CR>
sudo.x86_64<LF>
```

Add an awk script that fix the output when it contains carriage returns.
