As part of the upstreaming effort, we need to add some extra tunings
in the package. Especially related to GRUB autosetting and Pstore
memory settings:
(a) Currently the ramoops record size and memory amount are hardcoded
in the kdump-load script - we change it here, by having these settings
on the kdump config file;
(b) GRUB autosetting is pretty simple and everything is hardcoded.
We hereby add a bunch of configurable settings in the kdump conf file,
in order we can customize the GRUB handling, to make it work in both
Arch and SteamOS.
While at it, fixed some related comments and renamed some variables,
usually dropping KDUMP_ name when it applies to pstore as well.
Also, bumped the crashkernel memory from 192M to 256M - recent kernels
demand more memory, let's play safe.

We have been way too conservative to prevent boot flaws, returning
always success even on failures. This is changed now.

This is somewhat an intrusive change, but necessary if we want
to upstream the kdump tooling while allowing great extent of
customizations on SteamOS.
With this change, we have now a kdump.d folder on /usr/share,
that holds configuration files in the same way sysctl.d does.
In other words, we can easily override default settings by
just having more configuration files, which are sourced
following natural name sorting, i.e., we have now the concept
of config file precedence in kdump.
Our default config file is called 00-default, so we eventually
might have a 01-steamos e.g., with Deck's custom settings.
This is planned to other package though.

Remove Steam/SteamOS references from things like headers,
journal error messages, etc.
While at it, also improve wording in some points.

This is a pretty big refactor in the logic / goals of this kdump
implementation.
* WHY?
We want to decouple completely the log submission mechanism from the
kdump tooling, for mainly two reasons: reuse this submission API/mechanism
in other log collection tools, and to allow upstreaming the kdump tooling
for Arch Linux generically, not embedding SteamOS particulars to it.
* HOW:
First of all, we dropped the log submission bits from this codebase.
We also deleted the particulars of SteamOS/Deck in the log naming,
like collecting the serial of the device if "Jupiter" model is found
in the DMI info or getting the Steam user account via the VDF file.
All of that will happen in a later stage of the log processing, done by
*another tool* that shall rename the logs and transmit them to the
Valve servers.
While at it, we've done other small changes in the logic to make this
kdump tool more generic and reliable, like allowing the collection
of kdump *AND* pstore logs (not choosing one of them).
* CAVEATS / TODO:
More to come in this front, we still definitely need to remove more
references to SteamOS and clear a bit the code from its particulars.
Important also is to update the README to reflect the changes made
by the upstreaming effort.
Mea culpa: these changes are invasive, switch some logic and
expectations around the package, so making them fully bisectable
would be way harder than not. Hence, please take that into account:
this series should be tested/merged as a whole, it's not guaranteed
that individual patches work correctly in a standalone fashion.

Drop "steamos" references as well as "submit/submitter" wording
given that we are decoupling the submission mechanism of the
logs' collection.
