write bootparams in memory for Linux & PVH protos

This commit introduces a new configurator module that takes
boot parameters created in the VMM (boot_params / start_info
+ e820 map) and writes them into guest memory. The module is
meant to be extended in order to include *building* the boot
parameters as well.

Fixes rust-vmm#15
