arch/x86/assembly_entry: Align stack for car_stage_entry
At process _start, the stack is expected to be aligned to a
16-byte boundary. Upon entry to any function the stack frame
must have the end of any arguments also aligned. In other words
the value of %esp+4 or %rsp+8 is always a multiple of 16 (1).
Align the stack down and change the method for executing
car_stage_entry from jmp to call which should preserve proper
alignment regardless of a 32- or 64-bit build.
Although 4-byte alignment is the minimum requirement for i386,
some AMD platforms use SSE instructions which expect 16-byte.

See "Initial Stack and Register State" and "The Stack Frame"
in the supplements.
