[PATCH v24 6/9] arm64: kdump: add VMCOREINFO's for user-space coredump tools

For the current crash utility, we need to know, at least,
- kimage_voffset
- PHYS_OFFSET
to handle the contents of core dump file (/proc/vmcore) correctly due to
the introduction of KASLR (CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE) in v4.6.
This patch puts them as VMCOREINFO's into the file.
- VA_BITS
is also added for makedumpfile command.
More VMCOREINFO's may be added later.
