kdump_load.sh, kdump.etc: Introduce GRUB auto-setting support

With this addition, kdump-steamos is now capable of editing grub.cfg
to automatically add the required kdump parameters, in case kdump
is used. If Pstore ends-up being used and the grub.cfg was mofified
by kdump-steamos automatically, we're also able to undo the change
and save users from memory waste.
