We have no known use for having the CPU track whether GDT descriptors
have been accessed or not.
Simplify the code by adding the flag to the common flags and removing
it everywhere else.

Actually replace the numeric values by the new symbolic values.
I used this to find all the existing users of the GDT_ENTRY*() macros:
$ git grep -P 'GDT_ENTRY(_INIT)?\('
Some of the lines will exceed 80 characters, but some of them will be
shorter again in the next couple of patches.

In preparation for updating the EFI stub boot flow to avoid the bare
metal decompressor code altogether, implement the support code for
switching between 4 and 5 levels of paging before jumping to the kernel
proper.
Reuse the newly refactored trampoline that the bare metal decompressor
uses, but relies on EFI APIs to allocate 32-bit addressable memory and
remap it with the appropriate permissions. Given that the bare metal
decompressor will no longer call into the trampoline if the number of
paging levels is already set correctly, it is no longer needed to remove
NX restrictions from the memory range where this trampoline may end up.
