[PATCH v5 1/3] tree-wide: Retrieve 'MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS' from vmcoreinfo (if available)

This patch adds a common feature for archs (except arm64, for which
similar support is added via subsequent patch) to retrieve
'MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS' from vmcoreinfo (if available).

I recently posted a kernel patch (see [0]) which appends
'MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS' to vmcoreinfo in the core code itself rather than
in arch-specific code, so that user-space code can also benefit from
this addition to the vmcoreinfo and use it as a standard way of
determining 'SECTIONS_SHIFT' value in 'makedumpfile' utility.

This patch ensures backward compatibility for kernel versions in which
'MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS' is not available in vmcoreinfo.
