crash: Add crash_prepare_headers() to exclude crash kernel memory

Browse source

The crash memory alloc, and the exclude of crashk_res, crashk_low_res
and crashk_cma memory are almost identical across different architectures,
handling them in the crash core would eliminate a lot of duplication, so
add crash_prepare_headers() helper to handle them in the common code.

To achieve the above goal, three architecture-specific functions are
introduced:

- arch_get_system_nr_ranges(). Pre-counts the max number of memory ranges.

- arch_crash_populate_cmem(). Collects the memory ranges and fills them
  into cmem.

- arch_crash_exclude_ranges(). Architecture's additional crash memory
  ranges exclusion, defaulting to empty.
