Daniel Golle 5e4bb476c0 kexec-tools: bump version and add support for crashdump kernel
split kexec-tools into two packages, kexec and kdump.
* kexec to simply execute a new kernel
* kdump is for loading and collecting debris of a crashed kernel with
  support for kdump forensics.

In order to properly support booting into a crashkernel, an init script
as well as UCI configuration has been added.
As modifying the kernel cmdline is required for this to work in x86
platforms use an uci-defaults script to modify /boot/grub/grub.cfg.

To test collecting crash information, use the 'c' sysrq-trigger, ie.
echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger

This should result in the crash kernel being executed and (depending
on the configution) dmesg and/or vmcore getting saved.

To check if the crash kernel was loaded properly, use the 'status'
command of the kdump init script.
