When setting up the stack in the startup code and jumping into C code
for the first time, ensure that the frame pointer register is cleared
so that backtraces terminate correctly. Otherwise, output like the
below is shown when encountering an exception on a DEBUG build:

Recursive exception occurred while dumping the CPU state
which is rather unhelpful, given that this prevent the remaining debug
output from being printed (register dump, stack dump, fault related
system registers etc)

DEBUG builds of PEI code will print a diagnostic message regarding
the utilization of temporary RAM before switching to permanent RAM.
For example,
Total temporary memory: 16352 bytes.
temporary memory stack ever used: 4820 bytes.
temporary memory heap used for HobList: 4720 bytes.
Tracking stack utilization like this requires the stack to be seeded
with a known magic value, and this needs to occur before entering C
code, given that it uses the stack. Currently, only Nt32Pkg appears
to implement this feature, but it is useful nonetheless, so let's
wire it up for PrePeiCore.

This retypes some stack base PCD as 64-bit, and fixes up a number of references
to 64-bit PCDs (including the retypes ones), to use the correct PcdGet64()
accessors. Note that, in the case of FixedPcdGet64, this does not actually
caused any problems, since that resolves to an immediate value. But the
generic PcdGetxx accessors should be typed according to the size of the PCD.

Now that we dropped all ArmPlatformGlobalVariableLib dependencies,
there is no longer a need to allocate and clear out the global
variable region in the PrePeiCore init code. So remove it.

Several assembler macros use a loop at the label "dead" to trap an error.
This is difficult to debug as there is no indication of how one arrived at the loop.
This change replaces dead with distinct loops locally in the macro,
which means the cause of the hang is detectable to the debugger.
