x86/crash: add x86 crash hotplug support

When CPU or memory is hot un/plugged, or off/onlined, the crash
elfcorehdr, which describes the CPUs and memory in the system, must also
be updated.

A new elfcorehdr is generated from the available CPUs and memory and
replaces the existing elfcorehdr.  The segment containing the elfcorehdr
is identified at run-time in crash_core:crash_handle_hotplug_event().

No modifications to purgatory (see 'kexec: exclude elfcorehdr from the
segment digest') or boot_params (as the elfcorehdr= capture kernel command
line parameter pointer remains unchanged and correct) are needed, just
elfcorehdr.

For kexec_file_load(), the elfcorehdr segment size is based on NR_CPUS and
CRASH_MAX_MEMORY_RANGES in order to accommodate a growing number of CPU
and memory resources.

For kexec_load(), the userspace kexec utility needs to size the elfcorehdr
segment in the same/similar manner.

To accommodate kexec_load() syscall in the absence of kexec_file_load()
syscall support, prepare_elf_headers() and dependents are moved outside of
CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE.
