bootconfig: add xbc_prepend_embedded_cmdline() helper

Add a helper that prepends the build-time-rendered embedded bootconfig
"kernel" subtree (embedded_kernel_cmdline[] from embedded-cmdline.S) to
a cmdline buffer with a separating space. Architectures call this from
setup_arch() before parse_early_param() so early_param() handlers
(mem=, earlycon=, loglevel=, ...) see values supplied via the embedded
bootconfig.

The in-place prepend (shift the existing string right, then drop the
embedded string in front) is factored into a small str_prepend() helper.

On overflow the helper logs an error and leaves the cmdline untouched
rather than panicking. Booting without the embedded values is better
than refusing to boot, and the error tells the user why their embedded
keys are missing.

The helper records whether it actually prepended, exposed via
xbc_embedded_cmdline_applied(). setup_boot_config() uses this to decide
whether the runtime "kernel" render would duplicate keys already folded
into boot_command_line.

Also add bootconfig_cmdline_requested(), a small parse_args() wrapper
that reports whether "bootconfig" was passed on the command line and,
via an optional out-parameter, where the "--" init arguments begin.
setup_arch() and setup_boot_config() share it so the early and late
paths agree on the opt-in. It sits under CONFIG_BOOT_CONFIG rather than
CONFIG_CMDLINE_FROM_BOOTCONFIG because the runtime parser needs it on
every bootconfig build.

When CONFIG_CMDLINE_FROM_BOOTCONFIG=n, the public declaration in
<linux/bootconfig.h> resolves to a no-op stub so callers compile
unchanged.
