kmod 32 is out:

- Improvements

        - Use any hash algo known by kernel/openssl instead of keep needing
          to update the mapping

        - Teach kmod to load modprobe.d/depmod.d configuration from ${prefix}/lib
          and allow it to be overriden during build with --with-distconfdir=DIR

        - Make kernel modules directory configurable. This allows distro to
          make kmod use only files from /usr regardless of having a compat
          symlink in place.

        - Install kmod.pc containing the features selected at build time.

        - Install all tools and symlinks by default. Previously kmod relied on
          distro packaging to set up the symlinks in place like modprobe,
          depmod, lsmod, etc. Now those symlinks are created by kmod itself
          and they are always placed in $bindir.

- Bug Fixes

        - Fix warnings due to -Walloc-size

- Others

        - Drop python bindings. Those were not update in ages and not compatible
          with latest python releases.

        - Cleanup test infra, dropping what was not used anymore

        - Drop experimental tools `kmod insert` / `kmod remove`. Building those
          was protected by a configure option never set by distros. They also
          didn't gain enough traction to replace the older interfaces via
          modprobe/insmod/rmmod.
