crashdump: introduce the hotplug command line options
Introducing the --hotplug command line option, which is used to
indicate to the kernel that the kdump image is setup to permit
the kernel to directly modify the elfcorehdr in response to CPU
and memory hotplug and/or online/offline events.
This option is only meaningful for kexec_load() syscall. For the
kexec_file_load() syscall, this option is a no-op as the kernel
handles all aspects of loading the kdump image.
This is the command line processing and documentation.
