shield Recommended update for kernel-livepatch-tools

SUSE-SLE-Micro-6.0-409

This update for kernel-livepatch-tools fixes the following issues: Version 1.8: - Drop different flavors support (bsc#1245949) - Hardcode version 1.2 when building for older distributions than SL 16.0. The existing livepatch packages require exactly this version. But new versions are backward compatible. - Use "transactional-update" for downgrading livepatch package on transactional systems (bsc#1245346) - Improve the description of the LIVEPATCH_KERNEL sysconfig variable (bsc#1236642) - Use dracut to regenerate initrd when "mkinitrd" can't be found (bsc#1234757) - Remove week dependencies on SLE16+ to unify the behavior on SLES, SLES Minimal, and SL Micro (bsc#1219966)
