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.

This will make it easier to switch over to use the config_enabled()
macro later on.

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.
