OrderWithRequires was introduced in rpm 4.9 (ie. SLE12+) to allow
a package to inform the order of installation of other package without
hard requiring that package. This means our kernel-binary packages no
longer need to hard require perl-Bootloader or dracut, resolving the
long-commented issue there. This is also needed for udev & systemd-boot
to ensure those packages are installed before being called by dracut
(boo#1228659)
