Allow space for the kernel's real-mode .bss. Previously we weren't
...
allowing any space for this, which makes it surprising that bzImage
loading ever worked.

Redefine bzimage_exec_context::mem_limit to be the highest permissible
...
byte, rather than the number of permissible bytes (i.e. subtract one
from the value under the previous definition to get the value under
the new definition).
This avoids integer overflow on 64-bit kernels, where
bzhdr.initrd_addr_max may be 0xffffffffffffffff; under the old
behaviour we set mem_limit equal to initrd_addr_max+1, which meant it
ended up as zero. Kernel loads would fail with ENOBUFS.

...
Some shuffling around of the image management code; this needs tidying up.
