b1cdc83d57 kpatch-build: build dynrelas or klp relas depending on kernel version
Introduce a second phase in the kpatch-build process that creates kpatch
modules or livepatch modules that use the new klp rela sections depending on
the kernel version being worked on. This change uses the two new programs to
either create a patch module that uses dynrelas (create-kpatch-module) or a
patch module that uses klp rela and arch sections + klp symbols marked with the
correct Elf flags (create-klp-module).

For klp patch modules, the --unique flag for ld is needed to prevent
.parainstructions and .altinstructions sections from different objects
from being merged, as arch_klp_init_object_loaded() applies these sections
per-object.

8085d0402b build and install core module with make
Build and install the kpatch core module with make and make install,
rather than building it every time with kpatch build.

The only downside to this approach is that the user has to make and make
install kpatch every time they get a new kernel.  But this is only
temporary, until the kpatch module is delivered in an RPM.

4f27b9ae31 functional reorganization
Organize the files functionally:
