scripts/gdb/symbols: determine KASLR offset on s390
Use QEMU's qemu.PhyMemMode [1] functionality to read vmcore from the physical memory the same way the existing dump tooling does this. Gracefully handle non-QEMU targets, early boot, and memory corruptions; print a warning if such situation is detected.
