Convert multiboot to fw_cfg backed data storage

Right now we load the guest kernel to RAM, fire off the BIOS, hope it
doesn't clobber memory and run an option rom that jumps into the kernel.

That breaks with SeaBIOS, as that clears memory. So let's read all
kernel, module etc. data using the fw_cfg interface when in the int19
handler.

This patch implements said mechanism for multiboot.
