The prototypes of EbcInterpret() and ExecuteEbcImageEntryPoint() are
private to the AARCH64 implementation of EbcDxe, so we can shuffle
the arguments around a bit and make the assembler thunking glue a lot
simpler.
For ExecuteEbcImageEntryPoint(), this involves passing the EntryPoint
argument as the third parameter, rather than the first, which allows
us to do a tail call. For EbcInterpret(), instead of copying each
argument beyond #8 from one native stack frame to the next (before
another copy is made into the VM stack), pass a pointer to the
argument stack.

The thunk generation is needlessly complex, given that it attempts to
deal with variable length instructions, which don't exist on AArch64.
So replace it with a simple template coded in assembler, with a matching
struct definition in C. That way, we can create and manipulate the thunks
easily without looping over the instructions looking for 'magic' numbers.
Also, use x16 rather than x9, since it is the architectural register to
use for thunks/veneers.
