[PATCH v4 01/10] crash_dump: Make elfcorehdr_{addr, size} always visible

Make the forward declarations of elfcorehdr_addr and elfcorehdr_size
always available, like is done for phys_initrd_start and
phys_initrd_size.  Code referring to these symbols can then just check
for IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP), instead of requiring conditional
compilation using an #ifdef, thus preparing to increase compile
coverage.
