arm64: Expand arm64 image header

Browse source 
Expand the arm64 image header to allow for co-existance with
PE/COFF header required by the EFI stub.  The PE/COFF format
requires the "MZ" header to be at offset 0, and the offset
to the PE/COFF header to be at offset 0x3c.  The image
header is expanded to allow 2 instructions at the beginning
to accommodate a benign intruction at offset 0 that includes
the "MZ" header, a magic number, and the offset to the PE/COFF
header.

- code0/code1 are responsible for branching to stext.
The image must be placed at the specified offset (currently 0x80000)
from the start of the system RAM and called there. The start of the
