6d2c298b66 Kernel: Move aarch64 Prekernel into Kernel
As there is no need for a Prekernel on aarch64, the Prekernel code was
moved into Kernel itself. The functionality remains the same.

SERENITY_KERNEL_AND_INITRD in run.sh specifies a kernel and an inital
ramdisk to be used by the emulator. This is needed because aarch64
does not need a Prekernel and the other ones do.

57417a3d6e Kernel: Support loading the kernel at almost arbitrary virtual addresses
This enables further work on implementing KASLR by adding relocation
support to the pre-kernel and updating the kernel to be less dependent
on specific virtual memory layouts.

7e94b090fe Kernel: Introduce basic pre-kernel environment
This implements a simple bootloader that is capable of loading ELF64
kernel images. It does this by using QEMU/GRUB to load the kernel image
from disk and pass it to our bootloader as a Multiboot module.

The bootloader then parses the ELF image and sets it up appropriately.
The kernel's entry point is a C++ function with architecture-native
code.
