x86/boot: Copy kstrtoull() to boot/string.c

Copy kstrtoull() and the other necessary functions from lib/kstrtox.c
to boot/string.c so that code in boot/ can use kstrtoull() and the old
simple_strtoull() can gradually be phased out.

Using div_u64() from math64.h directly will cause the dividend to be
handled as a 64-bit value and cause the infamous __divdi3 linker error
due to gcc trying to use its library function for the 64-bit division.

Therefore, separate the dividend into an upper and lower part.
