[RFC PATCH 2/4] kdump: add generic functions to parse crashkernel and do reservation

In architecture like x86_64, arm64 and riscv, they have vast virtual
address space and usually have huge physical memory RAM. Their
crashkernel reservation doesn't have to be limited under 4G RAM,
but can be extended to the whole physical memory via crashkernel=,high
support.

Now add function parse_crashkernel_generic() to parse all possible
crashkernel parameters, including crashkernel=xM[@offset],
crashkernel=,high|low. And add function reserve_crashkernel_generic()
to reserve crashkernel memory if users specify any case of above
kernel pamameters.

This is preparation to simplify code of crashkernel=,high support
in architecutures.
