efi/x86: Move x86 back to libstub
This reverts commit 84be880560fb, which itself reverted my original attempt to move x86 from #include'ing .c files from across the tree to using the EFI stub built as a static library. The issue that affected the original approach was that splitting the implementation into several .o files resulted in the variable 'efi_early' becoming a global with external linkage, which under -fPIC implies that references to it must go through the GOT. However, dealing with this additional GOT entry turned out to be troublesome on some EFI implementations. (GCC's visibility=hidden attribute is supposed to lift this requirement, but it turned out not to work on the 32-bit build.) Instead, use a pure getter function to get a reference to efi_early. This approach results in no additional GOT entries being generated, so there is no need for any changes in the early GOT handling.
