kexec: consolidate kexec and crash options into kernel/Kconfig.kexec

Patch series "refactor Kconfig to consolidate KEXEC and CRASH options", v6.

The Kconfig is refactored to consolidate KEXEC and CRASH options from
various arch/<arch>/Kconfig files into new file kernel/Kconfig.kexec.

The Kconfig.kexec is now a submenu titled "Kexec and crash features"
located under "General Setup".

The following options are impacted:

 - KEXEC
 - KEXEC_FILE
 - KEXEC_SIG
 - KEXEC_SIG_FORCE
 - KEXEC_IMAGE_VERIFY_SIG
 - KEXEC_BZIMAGE_VERIFY_SIG
 - KEXEC_JUMP
 - CRASH_DUMP

Over time, these options have been copied between Kconfig files and
are very similar to one another, but with slight differences.

The following architectures are impacted by the refactor (because of
use of one or more KEXEC/CRASH options):

 - arm
 - arm64
 - ia64
 - loongarch
 - m68k
 - mips
 - parisc
 - powerpc
 - riscv
 - s390
 - sh
 - x86
