e9e6a2c745 kdumpctl: Add kdumpctl estimate
Add a rough esitimation support, currently, following memory usage are
checked by this sub command:

- System RAM
- Kdump Initramfs size
- Kdump Kernel image size
- Kdump Kernel module size
- Kdump userspace user and other runtime allocated memory (currently
  simply using a fixed value: 64M)
- LUKS encryption memory usage

The output of kdumpctl estimate looks like this:
  # kdumpctl estimate
  Reserved crashkernel:    256M
  Recommanded crashkernel: 160M

  Kernel image size:   47M
  Kernel modules size: 12M
  Initramfs size:      19M
  Runtime reservation: 64M
  Large modules:
      xfs: 1892352
      nouveau: 2318336

And if the kdump target is encrypted:
  # kdumpctl estimate
  Encrypted kdump target requires extra memory, assuming using the keyslot with minimun memory requirement

  Reserved crashkernel:    256M
  Recommanded crashkernel: 655M

  Kernel image size:   47M
  Kernel modules size: 12M
  Initramfs size:      19M
  Runtime reservation: 64M
  LUKS required size:  512M
  Large modules:
      xfs: 1892352
      nouveau: 2318336
  WARNING: Current crashkernel size is lower than recommanded size 655M.

The "Recommanded" value is calculated based on memory usages mentioned
above, and will be adjusted accodingly to be no less than the value provided
by kdump_get_arch_recommend_size.

These two command are not documented, update the man page to let user
know how to use them.

1a6cb43a19 kdumpctl: add showmem cmd
port from rhel, original patch is contributed by Minfei Huang:

Using /sys to determines crashkernel actual size is confusing since
there is no unit of measure.

Add a new command "kdumpctl showmem" to show the reserved memory kindly.

37dc7c286c kdumpctl: Add man page for kdumpctl
kdumpctl is useful sometimes when users want to debug or setup ssh key
authentication. So add a man page for it.
