kdump-steamos: Move configuration file out of /etc

Browse Source 
This patch main goal is to "un-Debianize" the configuration file
for kdump-steamos - thanks Emil (@xexaxo) for the discussions; it
is with a bit of a heavy heart I do that, but let's comply with the
modern distros ;-)

We hereby put the config file in a more standard path: /usr/share.
Usually users could override that with /etc/ file, but not in this
case, or at least, not for now. Kdump/pstore is expected to work
quietly, with no users' interference. Advanced users might want to
play with the configs though; and those can just go ahead and edit
the /usr/share/kdump/kdump.conf - it's all documented in the README.

In the future we can improve that by having the override mechanism
with the /etc file, let's see if we have a demand for that.
