[PATCH 24.03 v2 2/5] arg_parser: add new coremask parsing API

[Euan Bourke <euan.bourke@intel.com>]

Add new coremask parsing API. This API behaves similarly to the corelist
parsing API, parsing the coremask string, filling its values into the
cores array.

The API also returns a 'count' which corresponds to the total number of
cores in the coremask string.
