[PATCH] arm64: dts: apq8016-sbc: Add ramoops

Declare a ramoops memory segment to aid debugging for those without UART
access. Verified to carry console log when holding volume down for 15
seconds.

I was unable to find any ramoops-like memory region used in the 8916
downstream kernels, so the picked region is the last MB in System RAM.

No memory region for ramoops-like support was found downstrea, so the
arbitrarily picked region is the last MB of System RAM.

Enable CONFIG_PSTORE, CONFIG_PSTORE_CONSOLE and CONFIG_PSTORE_RAM.
