feat(dracut.sh): add --add-confdir option

When generating kdump's initrd, we want to keep [omit_]dracutmodules empty and let kdump to handle the modules. And we don't want to affect the first kernel's initrd, so we cannot place our conf file to /etc/dracut.conf.d or /usr/lib/dracut/dracut.conf.d. This patch adds a new option to allow user to add an extra configuration directory to use *.conf files from. If the dir not exists, will look for confdir's subdir. After that, kdump can use "--add-confdir kdump" if /usr/lib/dracut/dracut.conf.d/kdump exists, to apply its own dracut conf.
