x86 setup: make PM transition more paranoid; cleanup 32-bit entry

Make the transition to protected mode more paranoid by having
back-to-back near jump (to synchronize the 386/486 prefetch queue) and
far jump (to set up the code segment.)

While we're at it, zero as many registers as practical (for future
expandability of the 32-bit entry interface) and enter 32-bit mode
with a valid stack.  Note that the 32-bit code cannot rely on this
stack, or we'll break all other existing users of the 32-bit
entrypoint, but it may make debugging hacks easier to write.
