spec: own /etc/sysconfig/kernel

`grubby` reads the `/etc/sysconfig/kernel` file which isn't owned by the
package, nor created by it. This leads to all image build tooling having
to take special care to write this file [1] [2] so produced deliverables
automatically update their kernels.

This commit moves the creation of this file to the `grubby` package so
things work 'out of the box' instead of needing to do out-of-package
configuration by third parties.
