apport: error out when -w option is used on wayland

The -w,--window command line flag results in apport using xprop to get
the window's PID. On wayland, xprop cannot be used, and trying to call
xprop results in a non-responsive apport UI. Due to wayland's
architecture, there is no viable replacement for xprop. When the -w
option is used on wayland, error out with a helpful message.

Fix incomplete reports generated from linux-oem kernels

For OEM projects, linux-oem/linux-oem-osp1 kernels are installed by default;
meanwhile, they can also be installed on non-OEM products in order to have
better hardware/stability support.

When trying to report bugs from platforms with oem kernels installed, while
their source package names are not currently correctly identified as linux
kernel packages, most bits used to appear in generic kernel apport reports are
not included.

This change creates all necessary symbolic links to these kernels.
