kdump-steamos: Move configuration file out of /etc

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.

# Configuration settings for SteamOS kdump. After _any_ change in this
# file, it's required to create the kdump minimal initramfs by running:
# /usr/lib/kdump/kdump-load.sh initrd
#
# Mount-related options - the DEVNODE points to the /home directory link;
# this is used to derive the numerical devnode for kdump, since the link
# is not present so early in the system boot. The KDUMP_FOLDER will be
# created if doesn't exist. The KDUMP_MNT is just a temporary file that
# carries the mounted folder path across boot-time scripts.

# Kdump controlling settings - for now we don't have network/iscsi dumps, only
# local storage dumps. If FULL_COREDUMP is !=0, we collect a full compressed
# vmcore, which might require a lot of disk space. The *_CMD settings refer
# to tunings on makedumpfile - we rely on zstd compression and maximum page
# exclusion for the full vmcore, mimic'ing Debian kdump. Finally, GRUB_AUTOSET
# determines if kdump-steamos should try to automatically set grub.cfg in
# order to reserve memory for kdump (if needed, i.e., when pstore is not in
# use) - keep it as '1' for enabling the mechanism (this is the default).

# Pstore-RAM setting - if enabled, Kdump won't be loaded, instead the Pstore
