For earlykdump, kdump-lib-initramfs.sh is sourced by kdump-lib.sh,
however it is not installed in dracut-early-kdump-module-setup.sh. Same
as xargs, which is used by kdump-lib.sh. Otherwise earlykdump will report
file not found errors.

This is a batch update done with:
shfmt -s -w mkfadumprd mkdumprd kdumpctl *-module-setup.sh
Clean up code style and reduce code base size, no behaviour change.

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.

Since the logger was introduced into kdump, let's enable it for kdump
so that we can output kdump messages according the log level and save
these messages for debugging.

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.

There is no need to follow user's configuration when installtion the
kernel and initramfs for early kdump, just use a fixed a symbol link is
enough, this help avoid a check_boot_dir call.

Previously we handled the case when the installed kernel version for
early kdump is different from dracut target, it will be better to
print a warning even if installation successed, to let the user know
that an different kernel is used.
No warn message will be given if the user specified a KDUMP_KERNELVER
value, as in such case a different kernel version is used on purpose.

Currently when earlykdump failed to install required kernel image or
initramfs, it will still install the earlykdump hook and other utils.
But it won't work due to the absent of kernel image or kdump initramfs,
so the hook and installed utils is meanless.
We can't simply fail dracut building, as if earlykdump is included by
dracut config file, this may fail kernel update, where kernel image is
installed but initramfs failed to generate, and then it will fail
booting.
So this patch let it skip earlydkump install if anything is missing and
give a clean error message to let the user better ware of the situation.

There is currently a problem with earlykdump image building, when a user
is upgrading kernel, dracut will generate new initramfs for the new
kernel, and earlykdump will install currently running version of kernel
into the initramfs, and remain the version based kernel image naming
untouched. But after a reboot the new kernel is running, and it
will try to load the image corresponding to the new kernel version by
file naming.
This patch fixes the problem by creating a symlink with unified stable
naming to the installed kernel image and initramfs, and use the symlink
instand so it will always work despite the kernel version number change.

Early kdump always fails to load the vmlinuz-xxx after the 'binutils'
package has been installed, and outputs the following messages:
...
dracut-cmdline[309]: Cannot determine the file type of /boot/vmlinuz-4.18.0-51.el8.x86_64
dracut-cmdline[309]: kexec: failed to load early-kdump kernel
...
The reason is that the vmlinuz-xxx image is mistakenly stripped when
using dracut to generate the kdump initrd. Because dracut always find
all executable binary files to strip only if the 'binutils' package
is installed, otherwise it will skip the stripping.
Therefore, remove the executable permissions of the vmlinuz-xxx in
'${initrd}' in order to let dracut skip the mistakenly stripping.

Kdump service starts too late, so early crashes will have no chance
to get kdump kernel booting, this will cause crash information to be
lost. It is necessary to add a dracut module in order to load crash
kernel and initramfs as early as possible. You can provide "rd.early
kdump" in grub commandline to enable, then the early kdump will load
those files like the normal kdump, which is disabled by default.
For the normal kdump service, it can check whether the early kdump
has loaded the crash kernel and initramfs. It has no conflict with
the early kdump.
If you rebuild the new initramfs for early kdump, the new initramfs
size will become large, because it will put the vmlinuz and kdump
initramfs into the new initramfs.
In addition, early kdump doesn't support fadump.
