[POWERPC] Clean up zImage handling of the command line
This cleans up how the zImage code manipulates the kernel command line. Notable improvements from the old handling: - Command line manipulation is consolidated into a new prep_cmdline() function, rather than being scattered across start() and some helper functions - Less stack space use: we use just a single global command line buffer, which can be initialized by an external tool as before, we no longer need another command line sized buffer on the stack. - Easier to support platforms whose firmware passes a commandline, but not a device tree. Platform code can now point new loader_info fields to the firmware's command line, rather than having to do early manipulation of the /chosen bootargs property which may then be rewritten again by the core.
