[PATCH kernel-helper v2] kernel hooks: flag pending reboot after installing a new kernel

[PATCH kernel-helper v2] 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 update-notifier or monitoring checks
can then notice that the newly installed kernel is not running yet
by checking the existance of this file.
See f.ex.: https://github.com/mvo5/unattended-upgrades/blob/master/unattended-upgrade#L867
and: https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-notifier/tree/data/update-motd-reboot-required

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