Currently _crashkernel_add can't deal with larger memory ranges like
terabyte. For example, '_crashkernel_add "128G-1T:4G" "0"' actually
returns empty result. This patch allows _crashkernel_add to address
terabyte, petabyte and exabyte memory ranges.

_crashkernel_add currently always assumes the good case, i.e. that the
value of the crashkernel parameter has the correct syntax and that the
delta added is a number. Both doesn't have to be true when the values
are provided by users. Thus add some additional checks.
Furthermore require the delta to have a explicit unit, i.e. no longer
assume that is in megabytes, i.e. 100 -> 100M.

This help function can manipulate the crashkernel cmdline by adding an
number for each item. Also a basic test case for _crashkernel_add() is
provided in this patch.

prepare_cmdline is totally broken. For example if the remove list ($2)
is empty it removes all white spaces or if a parameter has a quoted
value containing a white space it only removes the first part of the
parameter up to the first space. Thus add a test case that shows what the
function should do in order to fix it in subsequent patches.
