init: verify that function is initcall_t at compile-time

In the spirit of making it hard to misuse an interface, add a
compile-time assertion in the CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_PREL32_RELOCATIONS case
to verify the initcall function matches initcall_t, because the inline
asm bypasses any type-checking the compiler would otherwise do. This
will help developers catch incorrect API use in all configurations.

A recent example of this is:
