Linux 5.10 moved to a new lockless ringbuffer. The new ringbuffer
is structured completely different to the previous iterations.
Add support for retrieving the ringbuffer using vmcoreinfo. The
new ringbuffer is detected based on the availability of the
"prb" symbol.

When compiling kexec-tools on a 32-bit platform, assigning an
(unsigned long long) value to an (unsigned long) variable creates
this warning:
elf_info.c: In function 'read_phys_offset_elf_kcore':
elf_info.c:805:14: warning: conversion from 'long long unsigned int' to
'long unsigned int' changes value from '18446744073709551615' to '4294967295'
805 | *phys_off = UINT64_MAX;
Fix it by using ULONG_MAX instead of UINT64_MAX.

Some code related to vmcore-dmesg.c is put into the util_lib, which
is not very reasonable, so lets move it back and tidy up those code.
In addition, that will also help to limit the size of vmcore-dmesg.txt
in vmcore-dmesg.c instead of elf_info.c.

The variable 'fname' is mistakenly defined two twice, the first definition
is in the vmcore-dmesg.c, and the second definition is in the elf_info.c.
That is confused and incorrect although it's a static type, because the
value of variable 'fname' is not assigned(set) in elf_info.c. Anyway, its
value will be always 'null' when printing an error information.

Here, no need to wrap the read_elf() again, lets invoke it directly.
So remove the read_elf_kcore() and clean up redundant code.

'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.
