[redhat-lspp] LSPP kickstart config script (work in progress)

[Linda Knippers]

Hi Klaus,

Thanks for posting the kickstart based configuration RPM.  When I
first tried it I ended up with a system that wasn't bootable.  Turns
out there's an existing bugzilla for the problem I was seeing.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=201875
I don't know if the fix will be in beta 2.

I was able to get the installation to work by using the original
lvm-based storage configuration.  Basically, I uncommented the
original LVM setup commands and commented out the new 'part' commands.
Diffs are below.

If we find that LVM works for some platforms but not for others
we may need to add a question about that at install time or
conditionalize the script based on architecture, if its an
architecture-specific thing.  Any thoughts on that?
