submit_report.sh, kdump.etc: Add setting to disable log submission

Browse Source 
Users may want to not submit logs to Valve servers, either for debug
purposes or just due to their preference. This patch adds a setting
for that, exposed in /etc/default/kdump . Information about this
tuning was added to README as well.

Finally, this commit also improves journal output when we bail-out
without submitting the logs to Valve servers, showing a friendly
message pointing to the locally saved file.
