Users can change the source package by setting variable `KDEB_SOURCENAME`,
but the binary package name is hardcoded.

Add support for setting binary package name by using `KDEB_PACKAGENAME`
and let it affect both kernel image and debug image packages.

Update kbuild documentation to include defaults and mention both
`KDEB_PACKAGENAME` and `KDEB_SOURCENAME`.
