x86/PVHv2: update the start info structure layout
After some discussion around the new boot ABI consensus has been reached
about the layout and contents of the start info. The following patch updates
the layout to what has been agreed.
Also, the new layout is described in binary terms in order to avoid issues
with alignments when using C structs.
