Documentation/ABI: add kexec and kdump sysfs interface

Add an ABI document for following kexec and kdump sysfs interface:
- /sys/kernel/kexec_loaded
- /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_loaded
- /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size
- /sys/kernel/crash_elfcorehdr_size

+Description:   read only
+               Indicates whether a new kernel image has been loaded
+               into memory using the kexec system call. It shows 1 if
+               a kexec image is present and ready to boot, or 0 if none
+               is loaded.

+Description:   read only
+               Indicates whether a crash (kdump) kernel is currently
+               loaded into memory. It shows 1 if a crash kernel has been
+               successfully loaded for panic handling, or 0 if no crash
+               kernel is present.

+Contact:       kexec@lists.infradead.org
+Description:   read/write
+               Shows the amount of memory reserved for loading the crash
+               (kdump) kernel. It reports the size, in bytes, of the
+               crash kernel area defined by the crashkernel= parameter.
+               This interface also allows reducing the crashkernel
+               reservation by writing a smaller value, and the reclaimed
+               space is added back to the system RAM.

+Description:   read only
+               Indicates the preferred size of the memory buffer for the
+               ELF core header used by the crash (kdump) kernel. It defines
+               how much space is needed to hold metadata about the crashed
+               system, including CPU and memory information. This information
+               is used by the user space utility kexec to support updating the
+               in-kernel kdump image during hotplug operations.
