crash_dump: during early boot, output to kmsg on userdebug.
Crashes that happen before tombstoned is running are extremely hard to diagnose, because tombstones aren't written to disk, and the window of opportunity to get logs via `adb logcat` is small (potentially nonexistent). Solve this by adding a world-writable /dev/kmsg_debug on userdebug builds, and writing to it in addition to logcat when tombstoned hasn't started yet.
