[RFC PATCH v1] powerpc: Add version to install filenames

[Nick Child <nnac123@linux.ibm.com>]

Rather than replacing the versionless vmlinux and System.map files,
copy to files with the version info appended.

Additionally, since executing the script is a last resort option,
inform the user about the missing `installkernel` command and the
location of the installation.

This work is adapted from `arch/s390/boot/install.sh`.

Hoping I am not breaking someones dependency on targeting /boot/vmlinux
so RFC'ing.

I typically have kernelinstall on my LPARs and installing and rebooting
goes peacefully.

Recently, I did not have kernelinstall and `make install` seemed to behave
differently. I got very little output but a succeful return code. After
initramfs issues during boot I dug into the makefiles a bit to figure out
where execution was differing. When `kernelinstall` cannot be found, we
invoke `arch/powerpc/boot/install.sh` instead. I am primarily interested
in getting more information relayed to the user about what is going on.

The changes to installing with the version appended are more of an afterthought
that makes sense to me but could understand why someone may depend on consistent
filenames.

Opening as RFC for opinions/rejections/concerns.

Thanks!
