Subject: [PATCH v7] rpm-pkg: simplify installkernel %post

The new installkernel application that is now included in systemd-udev
package allows installation although destination files are already present
in the boot directory of the kernel package, but is failing with the
implemented workaround for the old installkernel application from grubby
package.

For the new installkernel application, as Davide says:
<<The %post currently does a shuffling dance before calling installkernel.
This isn't actually necessary afaict, and the current implementation
ends up triggering downstream issues such as
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/29568
This commit simplifies the logic to remove the shuffling. For reference,
the original logic was added in commit 3c9c7a14b627("rpm-pkg: add %post
section to create initramfs and grub hooks").>>

But we need to keep the old behavior as well, because the old installkernel
application from grubby package, does not allow this simplification and
we need to be backward compatible to avoid issues with the different
packages.

Mimic Fedora shipping process and store vmlinuz, config amd System.map
in the module directory instead of the boot directory. In this way, we will
avoid the commented problem for all the cases, because the new destination
files are not going to exist in the boot directory of the kernel package.

Replace installkernel tool with kernel-install tool, because the latter is
more complete.

Besides, after installkernel tool execution, check to complete if the
correct package files vmlinuz, System.map and config files are present
in /boot directory, and if necessary, copy manually for install operation.
In this way, take into account if  files were not previously copied from
/usr/lib/kernel/install.d/* scripts and if the suitable files for the
requested package are present (it could be others if the rpm files were
replace with a new pacakge with the same release and a different build).

Tested with Fedora 38, Fedora 39, RHEL 9, Oracle Linux 9.3,
openSUSE Tumbleweed and openMandrive ROME, using dnf/zypper and rpm tools.

V1 -> V2:
- Complete to be backward compatible with the previous installkernel
application.
V2 -> V3:
- Follow the suggestions from Masahiro Yamada and change the installation
destination to avoid problems instead of checking the package.
V3 -> V4:
- Make the patch applicable to linux-kbuild/for-next (ia64 support was
already removed).
V4 -> V5:
- Complete for other Linux distributions.
V5 -> V6
- Simplify and do more compatible checks when copied files wants to be
  replaced.
- Remove %preun because it will be better done with another patch.
- Add indentation and quotation.
V6 -> V7
- Simplify check to copy (cpm --silent return error if file doesn't exist).
- Limit indientation to modifications.
