[PATCH v4 1/5] crash: move crashkernel parsing and vmcore related code under CONFIG_CRASH_CORE

fadump supports specifying memory to reserve for fadump's crash kernel with fadump_reserve_mem kernel parameter. This parameter currently supports passing a fixed memory size, like fadump_reserve_mem= only. This patch aims to add support for other syntaxes like range-based memory size :[,:,:,...]
