crash_core, vmcoreinfo: append 'SECTION_SIZE_BITS' to vmcoreinfo

As mentioned in kernel commit 1d50e5d0c505 ("crash_core, vmcoreinfo:
Append 'MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS' to vmcoreinfo"), SECTION_SIZE_BITS in the
formula:

    #define SECTIONS_SHIFT    (MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS - SECTION_SIZE_BITS)

Besides SECTIONS_SHIFT, SECTION_SIZE_BITS is also used to calculate
PAGES_PER_SECTION in makedumpfile just like kernel.

Unfortunately, this arch-dependent macro SECTION_SIZE_BITS changes, e.g.
recently in kernel commit f0b13ee23241 ("arm64/sparsemem: reduce
SECTION_SIZE_BITS").  But user space wants a stable interface to get
this info.  Such info is impossible to be deduced from a crashdump
vmcore.  Hence append SECTION_SIZE_BITS to vmcoreinfo.
