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.

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.

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