setup-disk: add override for custom kernel boot parameters

Jordan Sokolic requested to merge oofnik/alpine-conf:kernel_opts_override into master

I was looking for a way to append some kernel parameters on a new install and couldn't find a way to do this using the provided installation scripts, so I added a new parameter KERNELOPTS which allows for setting these parameters.

Example usage:

# cat <<EOF > answerfile
DISKOPTS="-m sys -s 0 /dev/sda"
export KERNELOPTS="console=ttyS0,115200"
EOF

# setup-alpine -f answerfile

This will result in console=ttyS0,115200 being appended to the kernel command line at boot.
