kpatch-build: retrieve source package instead of linux-source
...
On Ubuntu Trusty, HWE kernels don't come with a linux-source
package. Use dget to retrieve the source package instead. This is not
the case anymore with Xenial as the linux-source package is also
provided for the HWE kernels. For Debian, backports always come with the
linux-source package.

kpatch: deprecate the replace command

"kpatch replace" is complex, buggy, and probably unnecessary. And
upstream livepatch has nothing like it.
Remove it from the kpatch utility, but leave the infrastructure in place
in the patch module and the core module for now.

yumdownloader is problematic because it doesn't allow you to download

remove mentry mention in kernel version requirement
...
There are more reasons besides mentry support for 3.9 being the
minimum supported kernel version. There are also API changes that
happened in 3.9 that make the core module incompatible with previous
versions.
Rather than spelling all that out, just simply state the minimum
version.
