kexec: load and relocate purgatory at kernel load time

Load purgatory code in RAM and relocate it based on the location.
Relocation code has been inspired by module relocation code and purgatory
relocation code in kexec-tools.

Also compute the checksums of loaded kexec segments and store them in
purgatory.

Arch independent code provides this functionality so that arch dependent
bootloaders can make use of it.

Helper functions are provided to get/set symbol values in purgatory which
are used by bootloaders later to set things like stack and entry point of
second kernel etc.
