[PATCH 8/9] Gives arches opportunity to use generically defined boot cmdline manipulation

Most arches have similar boot command line manipulation options.
This patchs adds the definition in init/Kconfig, gated by
CONFIG_HAVE_CMDLINE that the arches can select to use them.

In order to use this, a few arches will have to change their
CONFIG options:
- riscv has to replace CMDLINE_FALLBACK by CMDLINE_FROM_BOOTLOADER
- arches using CONFIG_CMDLINE_OVERRIDE or CONFIG_CMDLINE_OVERWRITE
have to replace them by CONFIG_CMDLINE_FORCE

Arches also have to define CONFIG_DEFAULT_CMDLINE
