liveupdate: separate memfd support into LIVEUPDATE_MEMFD

Decouple memfd preservation support from the core Live Update Orchestrator
configuration.

Previously, enabling CONFIG_LIVEUPDATE forced a dependency on CONFIG_SHMEM
and unconditionally compiled memfd_luo.o.  However, Live Update may be
used for purposes that do not require memfd-backed memory preservation.

Introduce CONFIG_LIVEUPDATE_MEMFD to gate memfd_luo.o.  This moves the
SHMEM and MEMFD_CREATE dependencies to the specific feature that needs
them, allowing the base LIVEUPDATE option to be selected independently of
shared memory support.
