gpu: nova-core: add auto-detection of 32-bit, 64-bit firmware images

A firmware image may be either a 32-bit or a 64-bit ELF, and callers
should not have to know which. Detect the ELF class from the image
header at parse time and dispatch to the matching parser, so a single
entry point handles both layouts.
