liveupdate: luo_session: add sessions support

Introduce concept of "Live Update Sessions" within the LUO framework.  LUO
sessions provide a mechanism to group and manage `struct file *` instances
(representing file descriptors) that need to be preserved across a
kexec-based live update.

Each session is identified by a unique name and acts as a container for
file objects whose state is critical to a userspace workload, such as a
virtual machine or a high-performance database, aiming to maintain their
functionality across a kernel transition.

This groundwork establishes the framework for preserving file-backed state
across kernel updates, with the actual file data preservation mechanisms
to be implemented in subsequent patches.
