kdumpctl: check and generate /etc/vconsole.conf

Browse Source 
Resolves: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-79413
Upstream: kdump-utils
Conflict: Yes, upstream use has_command to check if a command is
          avaiable but that function is not backported to RHEL-9.

    kdumpctl: check and generate /etc/vconsole.conf

    For VMs created from KVM Guest images, /etc/vconsole.conf is missing
    so that dracut module 10i18n will install all kbd files.

    ```
      # du -sh initramfs/squash/usr/lib/kbd/*
      438K    initramfs/squash/usr/lib/kbd/consolefonts
      340K    initramfs/squash/usr/lib/kbd/consoletrans
      2.1M    initramfs/squash/usr/lib/kbd/keymaps
      232K    initramfs/squash/usr/lib/kbd/unimaps
    ```

    From man 5 vconsole.conf, KEYMAP= defaults to "us" if not set. We can
    safely generate a /etc/vconsole.conf with KEYMAP=us by localectl to
    reduce the initramfs size.

    ```
      # du -sh initramfs/squash/usr/lib/kbd/*
      11K     initramfs/squash/usr/lib/kbd/consolefonts
      121K    initramfs/squash/usr/lib/kbd/keymaps
    ```
