[PATCH kernel-helper] kernel hooks: flag pending reboot after installing a new kernel

[Jonas Theisen]

Ship a postinst.d hook that writes /run/reboot-required and records
the kernel package in /run/reboot-required.pkgs, similar to
the hooks shipped by unattended-upgrades on Debian and
update-notifier on Ubuntu. Tools like needrestart or monitoring checks
can then notice that the newly installed kernel is not running yet,
without requiring one of those packages to be installed.

Skip this when configuring the currently running kernel, as no reboot
is needed then.
