system-update-generator: warn if the command line blocks updates (#5173)
If "3", "5", "systemd.unit=", or similar are present on the kernel command line, the system will not enter into offline update. This behaviour is in line with the general logic that configuration on the kernel command line has higher priority than the configuration on disk, but is rather surprising. Emit a warning to help users diagnose the situation. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1405439#c4
