4b486e87cc zdev/dracut: fix kdump build to integrate with site support
This complements v2.27.0 commit 73c46a3056 ("zdev/dracut: fix kdump by
only activating required devices"). On older distributions, the absence of
zdev_id can cause the following harmless error messages for each udev
event:

(spawn)[387]: failed to execute '/lib/s390-tools/zdev_id' \
'/lib/s390-tools/zdev_id': No such file or directory

Kdump is still functional nonetheless.

As of v2.24.0 commit 2e89722ef0 ("zdev: make site specific udev-rule for
ccw"), the invocations of chzdev within
zdev/dracut/95zdev-kdump/module-setup.sh generate
/etc/udev/rules.d/40-zdev-id.rules. And so even though zdev-kdump
intentionally does not install zdev_id and its previous singular user
zdev/udev/81-dpm.rules into the kdump initrd, because DPM device auto
configuration is not desired in the kdump environment, zdev_id meanwhile
has an additional functionality for site-support and the generated
40-zdev-id.rules calls /lib/s390-tools/zdev_id. By installing zdev_id into
the kdump initrd, 40-zdev-id.rules can work without error.

73c46a3056 zdev/dracut: fix kdump by only activating required devices
This prevents out-of-memory (OOM) situations in the kdump crashkernel
environment.

Please note that the new dracut module 95zdev-kdump and the new library
zdev-lib.sh need to be packaged into the same (core) (sub)package as
95zdev.

This patch introduces a new dracut module "zdev-kdump", which is used
instead of module "zdev" when building a kdump initrd:

1. Ignore all persistently configured block devices and disable zfcp auto
LUN scanning => minimize the number of SCSI devices enabled during kdump.

2. Do not rely on chzdev's persistent configuration => work with systems
that do not use chzdev for persistent device configuration.

The detection of kdump is based on strict hostonly mode and on $IN_KDUMP.
