fix: avoid RPM lock issue (#44)

## what

This:
* Removes unnecessary `sudo` commands since the [user-data script runs
as the root
user](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/user-data.html#user-data-shell-scripts).
* Adds waiting for the RPM lock to be released.
  * We've seen the following logs during an instance start-up:
     ```sh
user-data: RPM: error: can't create transaction lock on
/var/lib/rpm/.rpm.lock (Resource temporarily unavailable)
user-data: The downloaded packages were saved in cache until the next
successful transaction.
user-data: You can remove cached packages by executing 'yum clean
packages'.
     user-data: Error: Could not run transaction.
     ```
* RPM database lock is being held by another process when script
attempts to run yum/dnf commands. Amazon Linux 2023 (AL2023) may perform
automatic updates or other package management tasks during boot, causing
the RPM database to be locked temporarily.
* Uses `dnf` instead of yum: Amazon Linux 2023 [uses dnf as the default
package
manager](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/linux/al2023/ug/package-management.html).
`dnf` is the successor to `yum`.

## why
* Prevents RPM lock issue and follows AWS recommended practices.

## references
* N/A
