Use the terminology "min" and "max" for addresses covered by a memory
region descriptor, since this is sufficiently intuitive to generally
not require further explanation.

Any initrd images that are not within the external heap (e.g. embedded
images) do not need to be copied to the external heap for reshuffling,
and can just be left in their original locations.
Ignore any images that are not already within the external heap (or,
more precisely, that are wholly outside of the reshuffle region within
the external heap) when squashing and swapping images.
This reduces the maximum additional storage required by squashing and
swapping to zero, and so ensures that the reshuffling step is
guaranteed to succeed under all circumstances. (This is unrelated to
the post-reshuffle load region check, which is still required.)

Provide a reusable function initrd_load_all() to load all initrds
(including any constructed CPIO headers) into a contiguous memory
region, and support functions to find the constructed total length and
permissible post-reshuffling load address range.

It is hypothetically possible for external heap memory allocated
during driver startup to have been freed before an image was
downloaded, which could therefore leave an image straddling the
address recorded as the top of the reshuffle region.
Allow for this possibility by skipping squashing for any images
already straddling (or touching) the top of the reshuffle region.

Alignment of initrd lengths is applicable to all Linux kernels, not
just those in the x86 bzImage format.

Eliminate the requirement for free space when reshuffling initrds by
swapping adjacent initrds using an in-place triple reversal.

We currently rely on implicit detection of the external heap region.
The INT 15 memory map mangler relies on examining the corresponding
in-use memory region, and the initrd reshuffler relies on performing a
separate detection of the largest free memory block after startup has
completed.
Replace these with explicit public symbols to describe the external
heap region.

There is nothing x86-specific in initrd.c, and a variant of the
reshuffling logic will be required for executing bare-metal kernels on
RISC-V and AArch64.

We can just treat all non-kernel images as initrds, which matches our
behaviour for multiboot kernels. This allows us to eliminate initrd as
an image type, and treat the "initrd" command as just another synonym for
"imgfetch".
