amd64: introduce hook for custom preload metadata parsers

Add hooks to amd64 in order to have diverging implementations, since
on Xen PV the metadata is passed to the kernel in a different form.

Approbed by: gibbs
Sponsored by: Citrix Systems R&D

amd64/amd64/machdep.c:
 - Define init_ops for native.
 - Put native code inside of native_parse_preload_data hook.
 - Call the parse_preload_data in order to fill the metadata info.

x86/include/init.h:
 - Declare the init_ops struct.

x86/xen/pv.c:
 - Declare xen_init_ops that contains the Xen PV implementation of
   init_ops.
 - Implement the parse_preload_data for Xen PVH, the info is fetched
   from HYPERVISOR_start_info->cmd_line as provided by Xen.
