x86/decompressor: Avoid magic offsets for EFI handover entrypoint
The native 32-bit or 64-bit EFI handover protocol entrypoint offset relative to the respective startup_32/64 address is described in boot_params as handover_offset, so that the special Linux/x86 aware EFI loader can find it there. When mixed mode is enabled, this single field has to describe this offset for both the 32-bit and 64-bit entrypoints, so their respective relative offsets have to be identical. Given that startup_32 and startup_64 are 0x200 bytes apart, and the EFI handover entrypoint resides at a fixed offset, the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of those entrypoints must be exactly 0x200 bytes apart as well. Currently, hard-coded fixed offsets are used to ensure this, but it is sufficient to emit the 64-bit entrypoint 0x200 bytes after the 32-bit one, wherever it happens to reside. This allows this code (which is now EFI mixed mode specific) to be moved into efi_mixed.S and out of the startup code in head_64.S.
