Subject: [PATCH v4 1/6] printk: Collapse shutdown types into a single dump reason

To turn the KMSG_DUMP_* reasons into a more ordered list, collapse
the redundant KMSG_DUMP_(RESTART|HALT|POWEROFF) reasons into
KMSG_DUMP_SHUTDOWN. The current users already don't meaningfully
distinguish between them, so there's no need to, as discussed here:
