x86/efistub: Simplify and clean up handover entry code
Now that the EFI entry code in assembler is only used by the optional
and deprecated EFI handover protocol, and given that the EFI stub C code
no longer returns to it, most of it can simply be dropped.
While at it, clarify the symbol naming, by merging efi_main() and
efi_stub_entry(), making the latter the shared entry point for all
different boot modes that enter via the EFI stub.
The efi32_stub_entry() and efi64_stub_entry() names are referenced
explicitly by the tooling that populates the setup header, so these must
be retained, but can be emitted as aliases of efi_stub_entry() where
appropriate.
