[PATCH v1 12/13] kho: Add Kconfig option to enable KHO by default

[Pasha Tatashin <pasha.tatashin@soleen.com>]

Currently, Kexec Handover must be explicitly enabled via the kernel
command line parameter `kho=on`.

For workloads that rely on KHO as a foundational requirement (such as
the upcoming Live Update Orchestrator), requiring an explicit boot
parameter adds redundant configuration steps.

Introduce CONFIG_KEXEC_HANDOVER_ENABLE_DEFAULT. When selected, KHO
defaults to enabled. This is equivalent to passing kho=on at boot.
The behavior can still be disabled at runtime by passing kho=off.

+	  The default behavior can still be overridden at boot time by
