Replace dynamic allocations in the bootconfig parser with static
__initdata buffers. This removes the dependency on memblock being
available when bootconfig is parsed, which is a prerequisite for
moving embedded bootconfig parsing earlier in the boot sequence.

The static buffers are:
- xbc_data_buf[XBC_DATA_MAX + 1] (~32KB) for bootconfig text data
- xbc_nodes_buf[XBC_NODE_MAX] (64KB) for the parse tree nodes

Both are __initdata and freed after init in the kernel. The userspace
tools path (tools/bootconfig) also uses the same static buffers,
which simplifies the code by removing all #ifdef __KERNEL__ blocks
from the parser.
