[PATCH 1/4] libkmod-config: revamp kcmdline parsing into a state machine

[Lucas De Marchi <lucas.demarchi@xxxxxxxxx>]

The handling of spaces and quotes is becoming hard to maintain. Convert
the parser into a state machine so we can check all the states. This
should make it easier to fix a corner case we have right now:
The kernel also accepts a quote before the module name instead of the
value. But this additional is left for later. This is purely an
algorithm change with no behavior change.
