kdump-lib.sh: add a config format and read helper
Add a helper `kdump_read_conf` to replace read_strip_comments.
`kdump_read_conf` does a few more things:
- remove trailing spaces.
- format the content, remove duplicated spaces between name and value.
- read from KDUMP_CONFIG_FILE (/etc/kdump.conf) directly, avoid pasting
"/etc/kdump.conf" path everywhere in the code.
- check if config file exists, just in case.
Also unify the environmental variable, now KDUMP_CONFIG_FILE stands for
the default config location.
This helps avoid some shell pitfalls about spaces when reading config.
