split sub-rpm kernel-modules-core from kernel-core

Gerd Hoffmann requested to merge (removed):newsplit into os-build

All kernel modules plus support files (such as the files generated by depmod) are moved to the new kernel-modules-core sub-rpm.

The kernel binary plus support files stay in the kernel-core sub-rpm. This essentially includes the files which are copied over to /boot by the kernel-install utility (vmlinuz, System.map, ...).

With this in place we have a strict separation between sub-rpms carrying a kernel image and sub-rpms carrying kernel modules. This should make it easier to use alternative kernel image packages, for example an unified kernel.
