Make auto-updates work on kickstart-static64 installs. (#7704)
* Store only the options for reinstall, not the full command.
This simplifies handling of updates with the static installer.
* Properly utilize the updater for static installs.
* Disable auto-updater when using local files.
If using local files, we can probably assume a system without a network
connection, so don't enable the auto-updater.
* Document support for auto-updates from kickstart-static64
* Fix infinite loop in auto-update option.
* Update kickstart-static64 checksum in docs.
* Remove unnecessary `sed` argument.
