[Bug 2098525] Re: Add dracut support for update-initramfs command

I looked and update-initramfs. It can be adapted to call dracut instead
of mkinitramfs easily. So I decided to go with that approach for a
smooth transition. Then initramfs-tools and dracut have the same logic
for their postinst script.

We can move to kernel-install later.

Title:
  Add dracut support for update-initramfs command

Status in dracut package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  As requested by bdrung here: https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/spec-
  switch-to-dracut/54776/7?u=mhalano, I'm opening this ticket.

  The idea is to add support for dracut in the `update-initramfs`
  command. The idea is to use the same easy syntax with dracut as we use
  to use with initramfs-tools.

  I don't know for sure what is the optimal approach to solve this,
  though, maybe add support to the command creating a more agnostic
  tool, or create a wrapper just for dracut.
