Lower kernel log level to 4 before exiting initramfs
Closes: coreos/fedora-coreos-tracker#1244 A lot going on for this simple service. See the tracker issue above for more info, but briefly: Anaconda has historically injected `quiet` into the kernel command line in many cases, and this suppresses *both* kernel and systemd output. On computers in general, but particularly many bare metal servers, the serial console can be slow. This can cause reliability issues. However for servers, we usually *do* want to see informational output when they boot. For example, today the kernel "mitigations" information for hardware vulnerabilities is output. This change is a compromise; we boot up at the kernel's default verbosity level (which for Fedora and derivatives is the upstream 7), but switch to 4 before exiting the initramfs. At that point, we've gotten most of the boot time output, and our initramfs is not extremely performance sensitive right now.
