This extends make_fiwix_initrd and kexec-fiwix to support command line parameters, instead of hardcoding relevant values within the C sources. This way, it becomes possible to alter e.g. ramdisk size without affecting checksums. While we're at it, also support loading a memory map from file.

While we're at it, also support loading a memory map from a file populated by builder-hex0 based on the BIOS E820 memory map.
