kernel installation is not always in a fixed location /boot, there are
multiple different style of kernel installation, and initramfs location
changes with kernel. The two files should be detected together and adapt
to different style.
To do so we use a list of known installation destinations, and a list
of possible kernel image and initrd names. Iterate the two list to
detect the installation location of the two files. If GRUB is in use,
the BOOT_IMAGE= cmdline from GRUB will also be considered. And also
prefers user specified config if given.
Previous atomic workaround is no longer needed as the new detection
method can cover that case.

Since commit ca01cbd, mkdumprd can generate the initramfs even if dump
target is not mounted. But it will refuse to work if the dump target is
not marked as noauto, and not mounted.
If a target is not marked as noauto in fstab, it should be mounted
automatically on boot. If it's not mounted, most likely something is
wrong and user should fix that. So mkdumprd will just show an error
message and quit to avoid further failure.
This commit make the error message more clear and less confusing.

- crashkernel high reservation is used, or there are crashkernel memory

For both case, if swiotlb is set to a large value in first kernel, kdump

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.
