address the case where there are multiple values for the same kernel arg

There is the case where there are multiple entries of the same parameter on
the command line, e.g.
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="crashkernel=110M crashkernel=220M fadump=on crashkernel=330M".

In such an situation _update_kernel_cmdline_in_grub_etc_default only
updates/removes the last entry which is usually not what you want as the
kernel (for crashkernel) takes the last entry it can find.

Thus make sure the case with multiple entries of the same parameter is
handled properly by removing all occurrences of given parameter first.

Note
1. sed command group and conditional control has been used to get rid of
   grep.
2. Fully supporting kernel cmdline as documented in
   Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.rst is complex and in
   foreseeable future a full implementation is not needed. So simply
   document the unsupported cases instead.

Fixes: 140da74 ("rewrite reset_crashkernel to support fadump and to used by RPM scriptlet")
