x86: prepare cache-as-ram to allow multiple stages
In order to do a verification of romstage on x86 one needs to run verstage which verifies romstage (and the memory init code). However, x86 doesn't have SRAM like every other modern SoC so managing the cache-as-ram region is especially critical. First move all of the "shared" objects to the beginning of the .car.data section. This change then ensures that each stage using car.ld to link has the same consistent view of the addresses of these fixed-sized objects in cache-as-ram. The CAR_GLOBALs can be unique per stage. However, these variables are expected to have a value of zero at the start of each stage. In order to allow a stage to provide those semantics outside of the initial cache-as-arm setup routine add _car_global_start and _car_global_end symbols. Those symbols can be used to clear the CAR_GLOBALs for that stage. Note that the timestamp region can't be moved out similarly to the pre-ram cbmem console because the object storage of the timestamp cache is used *after* cache-as-ram is torn down to indicate if the cache should be used or not. Therefore, that timestamp needs to migrated to ram. A logic change in src/lib/timestamp.c could alleviate this requirement, but that task wasn't tackled in this patch.
