As of r365978, minidumps include a copy of dump_avail[]. This is an
array of vm_paddr_t ranges. libkvm walks the array assuming that
sizeof(vm_paddr_t) is equal to the platform "word size", but that's not
correct on some platforms. For instance, i386 uses a 64-bit vm_paddr_t.
Fix the problem by always dumping 64-bit addresses. On platforms where
vm_paddr_t is 32 bits wide, namely arm and mips (sometimes), translate
dump_avail[] to an array of uint64_t ranges. With this change, libkvm
no longer needs to maintain a notion of the target word size, so get rid
of it.
This is a no-op on platforms where sizeof(vm_paddr_t) == 8.

On Ampere Altra systems, the sparse population of RAM within the
physical address space causes the vm_page_dump bitmap to be much
larger than necessary, increasing the size from ~8 Mib to > 2 Gib
(and overflowing `int` for the size).
Changing the page dump bitmap also changes the minidump file
format, so changes are also necessary in libkvm.

This change adds a new libkvm function, kvm_kerndisp(), that can be used to
retrieve the kernel displacement, that is the difference between the kernel's
base virtual address at run time and the kernel base virtual address specified
in the kernel image file.
This will be used by kgdb, to properly relocate kernel symbols, when needed.

This change adds PowerPC64 support for minidumps on libkvm.
Address translation, page walk, and data retrieval were tested and seem to be
working correctly.
