x86/head/64: Disable stack protection for head$(BITS).o
On 64-bit, the startup_64_setup_env() function added in 866b556e ("x86/head/64: Install startup GDT") has stack protection enabled because of set_bringup_idt_handler(). This happens when CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG is enabled. It also currently needs CONFIG_AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT enabled because then set_bringup_idt_handler() is not an empty stub but that might change in the future, when the other vendor adds their similar technology. At this point, %gs is not yet initialized, and this doesn't cause a crash only because the #PF handler from the decompressor stub is still installed and handles the page fault. Disable stack protection for the whole file, and do it on 32-bit as well to avoid surprises.
