RFE: parse boot parameters for an Anaconda inbibit parameter

[cmurf]

Currently Anaconda has its own built-in swap-on-zram implementation, which can be inhibited by 'inst.zram'. Since the plan is for that implementation to be obsoleted in favor of zram-generator, it might be nice to keep this option functional.

Igor's idea is for the generator to parse for 'inst.zram' or 'inst.nozram' and simply inhibit. And have anaconda requires 'zram-generator-defaults' so that it can by default depend on swap-on-zram being available unless inhibited by this option. That seems more elegant than my idea that Anaconda go to the trouble of stopping the service created by the generator.

Just a note, Anaconda supports the following variants:

inst.zram
inst.zram=on
inst.zram=1

It forces usage of zRAM swap for the installation process.

inst.zram=off
inst.zram=0

It disables usage of zRAM swap for the installation process.

I don't think that we support inst.nozram at this moment.

I'm confused which way zram-generator is supposed to go: should inst.zram inhibit zram-generator units?

Please check if #43 does what you need.

Anaconda folks have decided to deprecate the inst.zram toggle. There may be some other use case to inhibit (troubleshooting?) via command line, but for now I'll close this issue.
