[PATCH] x86: replace char builtin_cmdline[COMMAND_LINE_SIZE] with struct seq_buf

[Michal Gorlas <michal.gorlas@9elements.com>]

In preparation for removing the strlcat API[1], replace the char
builtin_cmdline[COMMAND_LINE_SIZE] with a struct seq_buf.

Removes strlcat() usage when combining CONFIG_CMDLINE with the boot
loader command line.
Use seq_buf_init() to initialize the buffer and seq_buf_puts() to
append the strings instead.

cmdline_find_option() and cmdline_find_option_bool() logic remain
unchanged, and continue to operate on the underlying .buffer member.
