[PATCH 2/2] vmcore_info: track fatal hardware errors

[Breno Leitao]

Fatal (panic-severity) hardware errors reported through APEI/GHES are
the ones most likely to have caused a crash, but hwerr_data did not
record them.  Add a HWERR_FATAL bucket and bump it from
ghes_log_hwerr() when a GHES_SEV_PANIC error is seen, so crash tooling
can tell from the vmcore that a fatal hardware error preceded the
crash.

Tools reading hwerr_data gain one entry (HWERR_FATAL).
