hw/arm/boot: take Linux/arm64 TEXT_OFFSET header field into account
The arm64 boot protocol stipulates that the kernel must be loaded TEXT_OFFSET bytes beyond a 2 MB aligned base address, where TEXT_OFFSET could be any 4 KB multiple between 0 and 2 MB, and whose value can be found in the header of the Image file. So after attempts to load the arm64 kernel image as an ELF file or as a U-Boot image have failed (both of which have their own way of specifying the load offset), try to determine the TEXT_OFFSET from the image after loading it but before mapping it as a ROM mapping into the guest address space.
