Refactor kernel version lookup
For the lookup of the kernel version kiwi provided a small
C program that reads the first bytes of the kernel binary
and extracts the version information. Given the various
compression formats and also the problem of kernel files
that contains the decompressor code which could be anything
it has turned out to be difficult to provide a stable tool
to read the version from the binary. Therefore the code in
kiwi was refactored to read the version via regexp match
from the filename which also makes kversion an obsolete
tool. This Fixes #1308

# KIWI - tools
this directory contains helper scripts and programs around
the kiwi image technology. If you need them in your image
just set the package kiwi-tools in your config.xml file
* /usr/bin/utimer
run a timer process like the kernel
* /usr/bin/dcounter
a small program to count bytes on a transfer so that you
can show a progress information about the transfer
* /usr/bin/isconsole
a small program sending the KDGETMODE ioctl to /dev/console
in order to check if we can fbiterm on that console
