Recording the top of SEC visible system memory in a global variable is
not necessary, and violates the constraints of the SEC/PEI environment,
given that it may execute from NOR flash. So remove it.

This updates all assembly source files under ArmVirtPkg to mark
exported functions as ASM_FUNC(), which puts them in a separate
section, allowing the linker to prune code that is left unused.
At the same time, clean up the code to get rid of LoadConstantToReg()
instances involving symbol references, each of which emits an absolute
literal, and hence and entry in the PE/COFF .reloc table.

The ArmVirtPkg platforms that use PrePi have no notion of boot remapped
aliases, so we can simply jump to CEntryPoint() directly rather than
via an absolute reference.

Both the ARM and the AARCH64 versions of the PrePi code (shared between
ArmVirtQemuKernel and ArmVirtXen) 'preserve' values across a function
call using registers that are not in fact callee saved. So fix that.

This adds support to the self relocating PrePi instance that is built
as a PIE ET_DYN executable. It primarily involves porting the relocation
routine to use ELF32 REL entries instead of ELF64 RELA entries which is
what AArch64 uses.
