x86/boot/64: Simplify global variable accesses in GDT/IDT programming
There are two code paths in the startup code to program an IDT: one that runs from the 1:1 mapping and one that runs from the virtual kernel mapping. Currently, these are strictly separate because fixup_pointer() is used on the 1:1 path, which will produce the wrong value when used while executing from the virtual kernel mapping. Switch to RIP_REL_REF() so that the two code paths can be merged. Also, move the GDT and IDT descriptors to the stack so that they can be referenced directly, rather than via RIP_REL_REF(). Rename startup_64_setup_env() to startup_64_setup_gdt_idt() while at it, to make the call from assembler self-documenting.
