x86/boot/compressed, efi: Merge multiple definitions of image_offset into one

There is no need for head_32.S and head_64.S both declaring a copy of
the global 'image_offset' variable, so drop those and make the extern C
declaration the definition.

When image_offset is moved to the .c file, it needs to be placed
particularly in the .data section because it lands by default in the
.bss section which is cleared too late, in .Lrelocated, before the first
access to it and thus garbage gets read, leading to SEV guests exploding
in early boot.

This happens only when the SEV guest kernel is loaded through grub. If
supplied with qemu's -kernel command line option, that memory is always
cleared upfront by qemu and all is fine there.
