yum-minimal: pre-install coreutils

As described in the referenced bug, the dependency solver in yum
doesn't handle weak dependencies well and in some cases, such as
Fedora 26, can end up choosing coreutils-single (the busybox-esque
single binary) instead of actual coreutils, which then causes problems
with conflicting packages later.
