Move all functions needed in the second kernel from kdump-lib.sh
to kdump-lib-initramfs.sh, and update shebang headers.
Now, kdump-lib-initramfs.sh is an independent lib script, no longer
depend on kdump-lib.sh, and kdump-lib.sh is no longer needed for
the second kernel.
In later commits, functions in kdump-lib-initramfs.sh will be reworked
to be POSIX compatible, kdump-lib.sh will contain bash only functions.
POSIX shell have very limited features, eg. `local` keyword doesn't
exist in POSIX but we rely on that heavily. So kdump-lib.sh will
use bash syntax and contain the most complex helper and codes.
kdump-lib-initramfs.sh will contain the minimum set of helpers,
and be shared by both the first and second kernel.

Add a helper `kdump_read_conf` to replace read_strip_comments.
`kdump_read_conf` does a few more things:
- remove trailing spaces.
- format the content, remove duplicated spaces between name and value.
- read from KDUMP_CONFIG_FILE (/etc/kdump.conf) directly, avoid pasting
"/etc/kdump.conf" path everywhere in the code.
- check if config file exists, just in case.
Also unify the environmental variable, now KDUMP_CONFIG_FILE stands for
the default config location.
This helps avoid some shell pitfalls about spaces when reading config.

When `failure_action` is set to `dump_to_rootfs`, the message:
"Waiting for rootfs mount, will timeout after 90 seconds"
is actually wrong. Kdump will simply call `systemctl start sysroot.mount`,
but the timeout value of sysroot.mount depends on the unit service and
dracut parameters. And by default, dracut will set
JobRunningTimeoutSec=0 and JobTimeoutSec=0 for the device units,
which means it will wait forever. (see wait_for_dev function in dracut)
For some devices, this can be fixed by setting rd.timeout=90. But when
initqueue is set enabled during initramfs build, dracut will force set
timeout for host devices to `0`. (see 99base/module-setup.sh).
Depending on dracut / systemd can make things unpredictable and break as
parameters or code change. To make things easy to understand and
maintain, just call `systemctl` with `--no-block` params, and implement
a standalone wait loop. Now `dump_to_rootfs` will actually wait for
90s then timeout.

kdump's dump_to_rootfs will try to start initqueue unconditionally.
dump_to_rootfs will run after systemd isolate to emergency
target, so this is currently accetable.
But there is a problem when initqueue starts the emergency action
because of initqueue timeout. dump_to_rootfs will start initqueue and
lead to timeout again.
So following patch will remove the previous isolation wrapper, and
detect the service status here. Previous isolation makes the detection
impossible. Now this detection will be valid and helpful to prevent
double timeout or hang.

If the dump target is the root disk, kdump scripts add an entry in
/etc/fstab for root disk with /sysroot as the mount point. The root
disk, passed through root=<> kernel commandline parameter, is mounted
at /sysroot in read-only mode before switching from initial ramdisk.
So, in fadump mode, a remount of /sysroot to read-write mode is needed
to capture dump successfully, because /sysroot is already mounted as
read-only based on root=<> boot parameter.
Commit e8ef4db8ff ("Fix dump_fs mount point detection and fallback

If default action is poweroff, we can observe that the machine is
rebooted, instead of poweroff. That is due to the following two race
processes:
systemctl poweroff
systemctl reboot -f
which is launched by kdump-error-handle.sh.
Unfortunately, although both of them are executed in systemd block
mode, but due to poweroff will tear down some internal things in
systemd, there is no guarantee for the block mode. As we can see
the msg "Failed to execute operation: Connection reset by peer",
which is thrown by "systemctl reboot -f".
poweroff and reboot share most of code, if one fails, then the other
should also fails, so it is meaningless to use reboot as the backup of
poweroff. Using "systemctl poweroff -f", the sdbus will teared down
immediately, which prevent the following "systemctl reboot -f" from
executing. Meanwhile, as man systemctl says:
-f, --force
When used with enable, overwrite any existing conflicting symlinks.
When used with halt, poweroff, reboot or kexec, execute the selected
operation without shutting down all units. However, all processes will
be killed forcibly and all file systems are unmounted or remounted read-only.
Hence, replacing the 'poweroff' with 'systemctl poweroff -f'

In latest rawhide kdump kernel reboot hangs because systemd reports a
conflict when kdump calls reboot during booting. Need further investigation
about the new systemd behavior.
Here is the error message copied from kdump session:
[snip]
kdump: saving vmcore complete
Failed to start reboot.target: Transaction contains conflicting jobs 'stop' and 'start' for shutdown.target. Probably contradicting requirement dependencies configured.
Failed to talk to init daemon.
[FAILED] Failed to start Kdump Vmcore Save Service.
[snip]
We previouly use "reboot -f" but later we changed to reboot because we want
systemd to take care of the shutdown path, mainly for umount filesystems.
Change back to "reboot -f" works but we still need umount by ourselves.
During my tests with "reboot -f" I get below dirty ext2 filesystem:
[root@localhost ~]# fsck /dev/vdb
fsck from util-linux 2.27
e2fsck 1.42.13 (17-May-2015)
/dev/vdb was not cleanly unmounted, check forced.
Actually "reboot -f" equals to "systemctl reboot -f -f"
systemctl manpage says "-f" and "-f -f" means different behavior:
When use -f with reboot, will execute reboot without shutting down all units.
However all processes will be killed forcibly and all file systems are
unmounted or remounted read-only. If -f is specified twice, will reboot
immediately without terminating any processes or unmounting any file systems.
Thus change to use "systemctl reboot -f" for our reboot actions. It can fix
the problem and at the same time it can ensure filesystems are umounted before
rebooting.
OTOH, a systemd changes cause the breakage, it may be a system service new
design, Later I can dig into systemd changes see which commit cause the
breakage.

into dracut-pre-pivot hook because certain systemd targets could not
reach due to failure in their dependencies. In those cases error
handling code does not run and system hangs. For example:
sysroot-var-crash.mount --> initrd-root-fs.target --> initrd.target \
--> dracut-pre-pivot.service --> kdump.sh
If /sysroot/var/crash mount fails, initrd-root-fs.target will not be
reached. And then initrd.target will not be reached,
dracut-pre-pivot.service wouldn't run. Finally kdump.sh wouldn't run.
To solve this problem, we need to separate the error handling code from
dracut-pre-pivot hook, and every time when a failure shows up, the
separated code can be called by the emergency service.
By default systemd provides an emergency service which will drop us into
shell every time upon a critical failure. It's very convenient for us to
re-use the framework of systemd emergency, because we don't have to
touch the other parts of systemd. We can use our own script instead of
the default one.
This new scheme will overwrite emergency shell and replace with kdump
error handling code. And this code will do the error handling as needed.
Now, we will not rely on dracut-pre-pivot hook running always. Instead
whenever error happens and it is serious enough that emergency shell
needed to run, now kdump error handler will run.
dracut-emergency is also replaced by kdump error handler and it's
enabled again all the way down. So all the failure (including systemd
and dracut) in 2nd kernel could be captured, and trigger kdump error
handler.
dracut-initqueue is a special case, which calls "systemctl start
emergency" directly, not via "OnFailure=emergency". In case of failure,
emergency is started, but not in a isolation mode, which means
dracut-initqueue is still running. On the other hand, emergency will
call dracut-initqueue again when default action is dump_to_rootfs.
systemd would block on the last dracut-initqueue, waiting for the first
instance to exit, which leaves us hang. It looks like the following:
dracut-initqueue (running)
--> call dracut-emergency:
--> dracut-emergency (running)
--> kdump-error-handler.sh (running)
--> call dracut-initqueue:
--> blocking and waiting for the original instance to exit.
To fix this, I'd like to introduce a wrapper emergency service. This
emegency service will replace both the systemd and dracut emergency. And
this service does nothing but to isolate to real kdump error handler
service:
dracut-initqueue (running)
--> call dracut-emergency:
--> dracut-emergency isolate to kdump-error-handler.service
--> dracut-emergency and dracut-initqueue will both be stopped
and kdump-error-handler.service will run kdump-error-handler.sh.
In a normal failure case, this still works:
foo.service fails
--> trigger emergency.service
--> emergency.service isolates to kdump-error-handler.service
--> kdump-error-handler.service will run kdump-error-handler.sh

This patch does the following change in 2nd kernel:
- dump target is mounted under /sysroot
With this change, we don't need to track what we've mounted in 2nd
kernel. We can just umount recursively every mount in /sysroot by
command:
umount -R /sysroot
It's very convenient to do so, because it's hard to track what we've
mounted when we're in error handling path (later patches). So mount
everything under /sysroot is reasonable and practical for us.
Also clean up a bit along with this patch.

Extract functions from kdump.sh, and construct kdump-lib-initramfs.sh as
kdump common functions/varaibles library.
kdump-lib-initramfs.sh will include kdump-lib.sh, because it will use
the functions from there. IOW, kdump-lib-initramfs.sh will be a superset
of kdump-lib.sh
So after this cleanup:
- scripts running in 1st kernel only have to include kdump-lib.sh
- scripts running in 2nd kernel only have to include kdump-lib-initramfs.sh
