core/nvram: add support for skiboot config strings

This allows the ibm,skiboot partition to be used to store NUL terminated
key=value OF configuration strings. These strings can be written using
the nvram utility found in the linux powerpc-utils package. Currently
the only use case for this is passing command line arguments to the
boot kernel so only ASCII strings are supported. The 0xFF binary
escaping mechanism for configuration strings is not supported.
