new-kernel-pkg: Add --dracutoptions about grubby HOT 4 CLOSED

I am testing a patch and will attach it to this issue shortly.

from grubby.

Modifying the kernel rpm with --dracutoptions="--xz" results in

[root@intel-purley-03 boot]# ls -ltr initramfs-* | grep -v kdump | grep -v rescue
-rw-------. 1 root root 21771110 Jan 3 07:38 initramfs-3.10.0-826.el7.x86_64.img
-rw-------. 1 root root 21119240 Jan 4 11:39 initramfs-3.10.0-826.el7gzip.x86_64.img <<< normal gzip
-rw-------. 1 root root 16469280 Jan 4 12:19 initramfs-3.10.0-826.el7xz.x86_64.img <<< xz

The savings with Fedora are approximately the same.

Thank you for your interest. We are retiring non-BLS grubby at this point and don't plan to address this. For BLS-only grubby, please send PRs to https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/grubby
