97930d3cca fadump-init: clean up mount points properly
When running with squash module enabled for both initramfs, /dev and
/run are also mounted by squash-init, so move them to newroot as well,
else they might leak.

Also pass `-d` to umount so loop devices (if used) will be force freed.

fa9201b240 fadump: isolate fadump initramfs image within the default one
In case of fadump, the initramfs image has to be built to boot into
the production environment as well as to offload the active crash dump
to the specified dump target (for boot after crash). As the same image
would be used for both boot scenarios, it could not be built optimally
while accommodating both cases.

Use --include to include the initramfs image built for offloading
active crash dump to the specified dump target. Also, introduce a new
out-of-tree dracut module (99zz-fadumpinit) that installs a customized
init program while moving the default /init to /init.dracut. This
customized init program is leveraged to isolate fadump image within
the default initramfs image by kicking off default boot process
(exec /init.dracut) for regular boot scenario and activating fadump
initramfs image, if the system is booting after a crash.

If squash is available, ensure default initramfs image is also built
with squash module to reduce memory consumption in capture kernel.
