[Crash-utility] [PATCH v2] x86_64: Make the conversion between 4level and 5level paging automatically

Currently, Crash only enable support for kernel-only 5-level page tables by
entering the command line option "--machdep vm=5level". Since Linux 4.17,
the Linux kernel can be both 4level and 5level page tables. This command line
can't work well for this.

Using the "pgtable_l5_enabled" to detect whether the kernel proper for 5 level
page tables automatically. Also move the 5-level paging setup from machdep_init(PRE_GDB)
to machdep_init(POST_RELOC).

Changelog v1 --> v2

 1. Make it support live systems suggested by Dave
 2. Using __pgtable_l5_enabled for check.
 3. Do some tests in both kdump(5level and 4level) and virsh dump(5level and 4level)
