modules.d: fix udev rules detection of multipath devices
Starting with the 0.7.7 release of the multipath tools, the multipath
udev rules always set a value in ENV{DM_MULTIPATH_DEVICE_PATH} for any
device that multipath scans. A value of 0 means that the device is not
claimed by multipath, and a value of 1 means that it is. Because of
this, udev rules that check ENV{DM_MULTIPATH_DEVICE_PATH}=="?*" will
always return True, and act as if every scanned device is claimed by
multipath. Checking ENV{DM_MULTIPATH_DEVICE_PATH}=="1" will work
correctly for both the old and new versions of the multipath tools.
When booting with Fedora-Server-dvd-x86_64-30-20190411.n.0.iso,
/proc/cmdline is empty (libvirt, qemu host with bios, not sure if that
matters), after installation to disk, anaconda would "crash" in kernel-core
%posttrans, after calling kernel-install, because dracut would fail
with
> Could not determine the kernel command line parameters.
> Please specify the kernel command line in /etc/kernel/cmdline!
I guess it's legitimate, even if unusual, to have no cmdline parameters.
Two changes are done in this patch:
1. do not fail if the cmdline is empty.
2. if /usr/lib/kernel/cmdline or /etc/kernel/cmdline are present, but
empty, ignore /proc/cmdline. If there's explicit configuration to
have empty cmdline, don't ignore it.

When you install a third-party driver, you will probably end in a
