The dracut module is opportunistic about using the built-in squashfs
support only when available, but the spec file hard requires it. Demote
it to a weak dep to truly make it optional.
This caters to environments which strive to stay minimal, like FCOS and
RHCOS. See https://github.com/coreos/fedora-coreos-config/pull/708 for
details.
Because otherwise, `kdumpctl start` will fail anyway. This makes it
easier to enable kdump by simply adding the mandatory karg and leaving
the service enabled.
This reverts commit fa8aa52d94.

Previously journalctl logs are directly dropped to save memory, but this
make journalctl unusable in kdump kernel and diffcult to debug. So
instead just don't let it read kmsg but keep other logs stored as volatile.
Kernel message are already stored in the kernel log ring buffer,
no need to let journalctl make a copy, especially when in kdump

Instead of read and parse the kdump.conf multiple times, only read once
and use a single loop to handle the error check, which is faster.
Also check for any duplicated config otion, and error out if there are
duplicated ones.
Now it checks for following errors, most are unchanged from before:
- Any duplicated config options. (New added)
- Deprecated/Invalid kdump config option.
- Duplicated kdump target, will have a different error message of
other duplicated config options.
- Duplicated --mount options in dracut_args.
- Empty config values. All kdump configs should be in
"<config_opt> <config_value>" format.
- Check If raw target is used in fadump mode.
And removed detect of lines start with space, it will not break kdump
anyway.
The performance is measurable better than before for the check_config
function.

Now, by execute `make test-run` in tests/, kexec-tools sanity tests
will be performed using VMs. There are currently 3 test cases, for local
kdump, nfs kdump and ssh kdump.
For each test VM, the selftest framework will create a snapshot layer,
do setup as required by the test case, this ensure each test runs in a
clean VM.
This framework will install a custom systemd service that starts when
system have finished booting, and the service will do basic routine
(fetch and set boot counter, etc..), then call the test case which is
installed in /kexec-kdump-test/test.sh in VM.
Each VM will have two serial consoles, one for ordinary console usage,
one for the test communication and log. The test script will watch the
second test console to know the test status.
The test cases are located in tests/scripts/testcases, documents about
the test cases structure will be provided in following commits.

The Makefile In tests/ could help build a VM image using Fedora cloud
image as base image, or, user can specify a base image using
BASE_IMAGE=<path/to/file>. The current repo will be packeged and
installed in the image, so the image could be used as a test image to
test kexec-tools.
The image building is splited into two steps:
The first step, it either convert the base image to qcow2 or create
a snapshot on it, and install basic packages (dracut, grubby, ...)
and do basic setups (setup crashkernel=, disable selinux, ...).
See tests/scripts/build-scripts/base-image.sh for detail.
The second step, it creates a snapshot on top of the image produced by
the previous step, and install the packaged kexec-tools of current
repo. See tests/scripts/build-scripts/test-base-image.sh for detail.
In this way, if repo's content is changes, `make` will detect it and
only rebuild the second snapshot which speed up the rebuild by a lot.
The image will be located as tests/output/test-base-image, and in qcow2
format. And default user/password is set to root/fedora.

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.
