Support overriding initramfs-tools configuration

Alper Nebi Yasak requested to merge alpernebbi/flash-kernel:initramfs-tools-config-hook into master

Some machines (like mine) have a problem with large initramfs files, flash-kernel even gives some advice (set MODULES=dep) if it detects such an issue, but can't set it itself. This was discussed in bug #890262 where Ben Hutchings suggested flash-kernel could override initramfs-tools configuration via a shell script in /usr/share/initramfs-tools/conf-hooks.d. I've implemented that suggestion as two machine db fields (Initramfs-Tools-Override-{Modules,Compress}) and a conf-hook that checks their values.
