When the linking of ramstage was changed to use an intermeidate
object with all ramstage objects in it the .textfirst section
was introduced to keep the entry point at 0. However, the
section was not marked allocatable or executable. Nor was it
marked as @progbits. That didn't cause an issue on its own since
.textfirst was directly called out in the linker script. However,
the rmodule infrastructure relies on all the relocation entries
being included in the rmodule. Without the proper section attributes
the .rel.textfirst section entries were not being included in
the final ramstage rmodule.

The current ramstage code contains uses of symbols that cause issues
when the ramstage is relocatable. There are 2 scenarios resolved by this
patch:
1. Absolute symbols that are actually sizes/limits. The symbols are
problematic when relocating a program because there is no way to
distinguish a symbol that shouldn't be relocated and one that can.
The only way to handle these symbols is to write a program to post
process the relocations and keep a whitelist of ones that shouldn't
be relocated. I don't believe that is a route that should be taken
so fix the users of these sizes/limits encoded as absolute symbols
to calculate the size at runtime or dereference a variable in memory
containing the size/limit.
2. Absoulte symbols that were relocated to a fixed address. These
absolute symbols are generated by assembly files to be placed at a
fixed location. Again, these symbols are problematic because one
can't distinguish a symbol that can't be relocated. The symbols
are again resolved at runtime to allow for proper relocation.
For the symbols defining a size either use 2 symbols and calculate the
difference or provide a variable in memory containing the size.

The cbfs stage loading routine already zeros out the full
memory region that a stage will be loaded. Therefore, it is
unnecessary to to clear the bss again after once ramstage starts.

In order to prepare the ramstage to be linked by the rmodule linker the
stack needs to be self-contained within the ramstage objects. The
reasoning is that the rmodule linker provides a way to define a heap,
but it doesn't currently have a region for the stack.
The downside to this is that memory footprint of the ramstage can change
when compared before this change. The size difference stems from the
link ordering of the objects as the stack is now defined within
c_start.S. The size fluctuation ranges from 0 to CONFIG_STACK_SIZE - 1
because of the previous behavior or aligning to CONFIG_STACK_SIZE. It
should be noted that such an alignment is unnecessary for 32-bit x86 as
the alignment requirement for the stacks are 4 byte alignment. Also the
memory footprint is still dominated by CONFIG_RAMTOP and CONFIG_RAMBASE.

c_start.o has a special case in the build system, which we can
eliminate, somewhat simplifying the build.
To ensure that the entry point is at the beginning, introduce a
new section .textfirst that is placed appropriately. In principle
the ENTRY() definition in the linker script should be enough, but
better be safe.

Code can easily make the mistake of using uninitialized
values or, in assembly, mistakenly dereferencing stack pointers
when an address is desired.
Set the stack to a non-zero value which is also (by testing)
a pointer which will crash coreboot if used. This poisoning
has uncovered at least one bug.
