Add basic telemetry to the new kickstart script. (#11718)

* Add basic telemetry to the new kickstart script.

* Properly handle install type info for telemetry events.

* Actually remove exit trap at end of script.

* Update packaging/installer/kickstart-ng.sh

Co-authored-by: Ilya Mashchenko <ilya@netdata.cloud>

* Fix handling of memory info on macOS.

* Addressed feedback from @ilyam8.

* Fix issues pointed out in code reivew.

* Update packaging/installer/kickstart-ng.sh

Co-authored-by: Ilya Mashchenko <ilya@netdata.cloud>

* Add install prefix to search path when looking for existing installs.

* Make variable names more sensible.

* Fix install prefix handling in new kickstart script.

* Fix kernel name handling in telemetry function.
