Add final_action option to kdump.conf 

If a crash occurs repeatedly after enabling kdump, the system goes
into a crash loop and the dump target may get filled up by vmcores.
This is likely especially with early kdump.

This patch introduces 'final_action' option to kdump.conf, in order
for users to be able to power off the system even after capturing
a vmcore successfully.
