Previouslyi, the CMDLINE mechanism was used to set suitable kernel arguments for reboot reason feature (pstore) handling what is actually the standard way in the Raspberry Pi BSP. However, the standard omnect OS way is to use the APPEND mechanism which gets applied to arbitrary bootloaders. Signed-off-by: Harry Waschkeit <44188360+HarryWaschkeit@users.noreply.github.com>

Previously, the CMDLINE mechanism was used to set suitable kernel arguments for reboot reason (feature pstore) handling what is actually the standard way in the Raspberry Pi BSP.
However, the standard omnect OS way is to use the APPEND mechanism which gets applied to arbitrary bootloaders.
Moreover, for tauri there was an unnecessary ramoops setting (use of ECC) part of the kernel arguments, because it is already part of the device tree add-on that was introduced for reboot reason support.
BREAKING CHANGE: this forces a boot loader update on Raspberry Pi 4.
