'vmcore-dmesg.c' already implements functionality to read
'vmcoreinfo' from vmcore file. The same can be used in other
features as well (one of which is reading the elf notes from
'kcore' file), so there is merit in moving this to the utility
libraries (util_lib).
Newer kernel versions (>= 4.19, with commit 23c85094fe1895caefdd
["proc/kcore: add vmcoreinfo note to /proc/kcore"], available),
have 'kcore' which now contains a new PT_NOTE which carries
the VMCOREINFO information.
If the same is available, we can benefit by using it in 'kexec-tools'.
This is especially useful for architectures like arm64 as we can
get kernel symbols like 'PHYS_OFFSET' from the '/proc/kcore' itself
and use it to calculate 'phys_offset' before we make a call to
'set_phys_offset()'.
For older kernels, we can try and determine the PHYS_OFFSET
value from PT_LOAD segments inside 'kcore' via some jugglery
of the correct virtual and physical address combinations.
Subsequent patch(es) in this series will use the same feature
to read the 'kcore' file.
This patch also makes some of the functions which were earlier
present in 'vmcore-dmesg.c' as non-static, so as to allow
future patches to use them as library functions.
Also we add the capability to read 'NUMBER(PHYS_OFFSET)' from
vmcoreinfo to the already present 'scan_vmcoreinfo()' code.
Future patches can look at reading more vmcoreinfo information
(for e.g. 'kaslr_offset()' for x86_64 and arm64) by using the
same framework.

With the recent build changes a number of unneded files
crept into tarballs, including .o and .d files.
This patch is farily verbose, but hopefully in the long
run this system will be obvious enough to be maintainable.

Use a $(clean) variable to store all items that need to be removed on
'make clean' (eg, .o files).

Since we use the implicit ruls for .c and .S, just colelct all sources
in the one variable.

This change makes kexec-tools work more like a standard configure-make-
make-install-type project:
* Remove $(OBJDIR) stuff. To do an out-of-tree build, just configure
from a different directory.
* Use the implicit Makefile rules more, and just edit the compiler
flags for specific targets.
* Simplify compiler/linker flags - no need for EXTRA_*
* Add TARGET_CC, and improve checks for BUILD_CC too.
* Set arch-specific flags in arch-specific makefiles, not conditional
on $(ARCH).
* Generate dependency files in the main compile, rather than as a
separate step.
* Don't #include sha256.c, but re-build it into the purgatory.
Still a work-in-progress.

[BUILD] Make sure sha256.c is compiled without optimisation
sha256.c needs to be compiled without optimization, else
purgatory fails to execute (on ia64 at least).
By placing -O0 after $(CFLAGS), which is provided by
the prevailing environment, it overrides any other -O flags
provided.

[BUILD] CPPFLAGS, CFLAGS and LDFLAGS fixes
* Set internal CPPFLAGS as EXTRA_CPPFLAGS, CFLAGS as EXTRA_CFLAGS,
and LDFLAGS as EXTRA_LDFLAGS
- Don't overwrite CPPFLAGS, LDLFAGS or CFLAGS from the environment
- They are irrelevant for BUILD_CC
- When cross-compiling for a ppc64 host on a non-ppc64 host,
EXTRA_CFLAGS, which is included in BUILD_CPPFLAGS contains
-mcall-aixdesc, which does not work on i386 at least
* Use LDFLAGS when linking kexec
- Append rather than overwrite in purgatory/Makefile
The purpose of these changes is three-fold.
* CPPFLAGS, CFLAGS and LDFLAGS from the environment really ought
to be honoured. For one thing;
* Without these changes, the confgiure taget in
the toplevel makefile can't work
* Without these changes, cross compiling does not work -
well, I can't work out how to get it to work anyway.
