MIPS: Allow auto-dection of ARCH_PFN_OFFSET & PHYS_OFFSET
On systems where physical memory begins at a non-zero address, defining
PHYS_OFFSET (which influences ARCH_PFN_OFFSET) can save us time & memory
by avoiding book-keeping for pages from address zero to the start of
memory.

Some MIPS platforms already make use of this, but with the definition of
PHYS_OFFSET being compile-time constant it hasn't been possible to
enable this optimization for a kernel which may run on systems with
varying physical memory base addresses.

Introduce a new Kconfig option CONFIG_MIPS_AUTO_PFN_OFFSET which, when
enabled, makes ARCH_PFN_OFFSET a variable & detects it from the boot
memory map (which for example may have been populated from DT). The
relationship with PHYS_OFFSET is reversed, with PHYS_OFFSET now being
based on ARCH_PFN_OFFSET. This is because ARCH_PFN_OFFSET is used far
more often, so avoiding the need for runtime calculation gives us a
smaller impact on kernel text size (0.1% rather than 0.15% for
64r6el_defconfig).
