When installing the kexec-tools package, it usually pulls it's whole dependency chain, which is almost used in every kdump environment, but actually, it is not needed on machines with 'install_weak_deps=0'.
To fix it, let's change the dependency from strong dependency(Requires) to weak dependency(Recommends), which allows users to decide whether they need to install the dracut-network package.

Hi, all
As we discussed in irc channel, for the network dumps, kdump will fail in second kernel without the dracut-network installed, maybe people do not aware of the whole risks. In view of this, the more discussion is needed. Any thoughts?
Also add the reporter, Harald Reindl.
Thanks. Lianbo
