fadump: kdumpctl should check the modules used by the fadump initramfs
After fadump embedded the fadump initramfs in the normal initramfs,
kdumpctl will mistakenly rebuild the initramfs everytime.
kdumpctl checks the hostonly-kernel-modules.txt file in initramfs
to check if required drivers are included, but the normal initramfs
is built in non-hostonly mode, so it doesn't have a
hostonly-kernel-modules.txt file. The check will always fail.
So let mkfadumprd make a copy of the hostonly-kernel-modules.txt in the
fadump initramfs and let kdumpctl check that file instead.

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.

kdumpctl: Add kdumpctl reset-crashkernel
In newer kernel, crashkernel.default will contain the default
crashkernel value of a kernel build. So introduce a new sub command
to help user reset kernel crashkernel size to the default value.

kdumpctl: fix check_config error when kdump.conf is empty

Write to `/var/lib/kdump` if $KDUMP_BOOTDIR not writable
The `/boot` directory on some operating systems might be read-only.
If we cannot write to `$KDUMP_BOOTDIR` when generating the kdump
initrd, attempt to place the generated initrd at `/var/lib/kdump`
instead.

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.
