multiboot 🔒: Multiboot kernel loader

Elf64 🔒
LoadedKernel: Information about a kernel loaded with the load_elf function.

load_arm64_kernel
load_arm64_kernel_lz4
load_elf: Loads a kernel from a 32-bit or 64-bit ELF image into memory.
load_multiboot: Load a Multiboot kernel image into memory.
multiboot_header_from_file: Scan the provided kernel file to find a Multiboot header, if present.
read_elf 🔒: Reads the headers of an ELF32 or ELF64 object file. Returns ELF file and program headers, converted to ELF64 format as a single internal representation that can handle either 32- or 64-bit images, and the ELF class of the original image.
read_elf_by_type 🔒: Reads the headers of an ELF32 or ELF64 object file. Returns ELF file and program headers, converted to ELF64 format. FileHeader and ProgramHeader are the ELF32 or ELF64 ehdr/phdr types to read from the file. Caller should check that file is a valid ELF file before calling this function.
