vmemmap: generify initialisation via helpers

Convert the common vmemmap population into initialisation helpers for use by
architecture vmemmap populators.  All architecture implementing the
SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP variant supply an architecture specific vmemmap_populate()
initialiser, which may make use of the helpers.

This allows us to clean up and remove the initialisation Kconfig entries.
With this patch there is a single SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP_ENABLE Kconfig option to
indicate use of that variant.
