kdumpctl, mkdumprd, *-module-setup.sh only target bash, since they
only run in first kernel and depend on dracut, and dracut depends
on bash. So use '[[ ]]' to replace '[ ]'.
This is a batch update done with following command:
`sed -i -e 's/\(\s\)\[\s\([^]]*\)\s\]/\1\[\[\ \2 \]\]/g' kdumpctl, mkdumprd, *-module-setup.sh`
and replaced [ ... -a ... ] with [[ ... ]] && [[ ... ]] manually.
See https://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/testconstructs.html for more details
on '[[ ]]', it's more versatile, safer, and slightly faster than '[ ]'.
This will also help shfmt to clean up the code in later commits.

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

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.

If a target is not marked as noauto in fstab, it should be mounted

Currently kexec-tools always depend on dump target to be mounted, which
caused some inconvenience for setup.
So for user configured target, allow kdump to start and build initramfs
even if target is not mounted.
When a mounted user configured target is used, the behavior is not
changed.
When a unmounted user configured target is used, mkdumprd will look for
corresponding mount info in fstab, and a entry with noauto option is
founded, mkdumprd will try to mount it inplace with optoins specified
in fstab and do basic checks on the device, then umount it.
If there is no fstab entry, mkdumprd will try to mount it in temporary
path with defaults option, do same basic check and umount it.
If there is a fstab entry but "noauto" option is not used, then there
must be some reason that the target device is not mounted, mkdumprd will
error out.
When path based target is used, there is no behavior change.

By this point, there is still an unresolved vfs kernel issue that blocks
systemd from mounting the dump target properly from time to time. To
prevent systemd from failing by mounting the dump target, we can add
nofail option to the kdump mount point.
But adding nofail will wipe out default dependency of the mount point,
see commit 94a7b43, so systemd randomize the order of calling kdump.sh
and mounting the dump target and lead to unexpected behavior.
However we can use x-systemd.before to ensure the mount is done
in right order.
In dracut-kdump-capture.service, we have "After=initrd.target",
and look at dracut.bootup.7, systems start processing of fstab by
initrd-fs.target, so set "After=initrd.target" could ensure the mount
is ready before pre-pivot and kdump-capture service.
Now with both nofail and x-systemd.before=initrd.target, systemd
will try to mount the dump target before calling kdump, and even if the
mount failed, kdump.sh will still be called and try to mount again. See
dump_fs function, which will try to mount if the target is not mounted.
Kdump will only fail if both mount attemp fails.
Else if the kdump target mount failed or unstable, systemd will directly
jump to kdump failure action, and kdump fails.
This should improve the robustness in general with no other risk.

This partially reverts commit 6dee286467.
There are reports that NFSv3 is failing after this commit, and after
more debug, I found NFSv4 may not work properly if
"nfs4_disable_idmapping" is set to 0.
The cause of the failure is that kdump.sh runs after dracut's pre-pivot
and clean up hook, many dracut module will install hooks to kill some
running services, so if the dump target requires a service to be running
but it's killed, mount will fail.
Dracut ensures the configured mount points are ready before pre-pivot.
After pre-pivot, any further mounting operation may not work as expected.
Although there is no report of other type of dump target failure except
NFSv3, it's better to revert this, to avoid other potential risk, and wait
for a proper fix for that systemd/kernel issue.
Else, this may bring more trouble for further development.
But still keep the change in kdump-lib-initramfs.sh for better
robustness.

For user specified target, the config value is used as the dump target,

Current code logic is not only complicated, it also wrongly generate

The right way is only check two things, and do nothing else:
1. The path exists within the target;
2. The target is large enough to hold to contain the vmcore.

error out if it's not mounted. Will implement some auto mount as next

Previously dracut_args is stored as an array in the shell code,
so we can just pass this array as argument to dracut.
But when trying to append new dracut argument, we have to manually
handle the quotes and spaces to ensure the appended argument is
splitted into array elements in the right way.
This is complex and hard to read or maintain. Instead, just store the
dracut_args as a plain string, and let xargs help parse it and call
dracut.
Simply passing $dracut_args or "$dracut_args" will either let dracut
consider the whole string as a single argument, or loss all the
quotes. xargs can handle it well and cover more corner cases.
Eg. one corner case before, if we have:
dracut_args --mount "/dev/sda1 /mnt/test xfs rw"
Kdump will fail, because the function add_dracut_arg() will wrongly
change the arguments into: (Notice the extra space.)
dracut_args --mount " /dev/sda1 /mnt/test xfs rw"
Instead of fixing it just use xargs instead. Tested with above config
and multiple other dracut_args values.

So we use a more strict logic on detecting ro mount option. It should
either starts with "," or "^" (begin of line) and ends with "," or "$"
(end of line), and keep the delimiter untouched. This should ensure
only valid mount option got detected and replaced.

If nofail or nobootwait option is used, systemd's local-fs.target won't
wait for the mounting to complete, and kdump might start before the
required mount point is ready and then fail.
The host might use nofail for reasons like the device may get unpluged,
and if the device is not mounted and it is set as kdump target as the same
time then kdump service won't start, we will never enter the capture
kernel. By the time we have entered the capture kernel, the target device
must exist and ready to use, or else kdump would fail anyway. So force
remove nofail and nobootwait option.
