bootconfig: Support embedding a bootconfig file in kernel
This allows kernel developer to embed a default bootconfig file in
the kernel instead of embedding it in the initrd. This will be good
for who are using the kernel without initrd, or who needs a default
bootconfigs.
This needs to set two kconfigs: CONFIG_BOOT_CONFIG_EMBED=y and set
the file path to CONFIG_BOOT_CONFIG_EMBED_FILE.
Note that you still need 'bootconfig' command line option to load the
embedded bootconfig. Also if you boot using an initrd with a different
bootconfig, the kernel will use the bootconfig in the initrd, instead
of the default bootconfig.
