x86 boot: extend some internal memory map arrays to handle larger EFI input
Extend internal boot time memory tables to allow for up to three entries per node, which may be larger than the 128 E820MAX entries handled by the legacy BIOS E820 interface. The EFI interface, if present, is capable of passing memory map entries for these larger node counts. This patch requires an earlier patch that rewrote code depending on these array sizes from using E820MAX explicitly to size loops, to instead using ARRAY_SIZE() of the applicable array. Another patch following this one will provide the code to pick up additional memory entries passed via the EFI interface from the BIOS and insert them in the following, now enlarged, arrays.

+ * plus E820MAX, allowing space for the possible duplicate E820
+ * entries that might need room in the same arrays, prior to the
+ * call to sanitize_e820_map() to remove duplicates. The allowance
+ * of three memory map entries per node is "enough" entries for
+ * the initial hardware platform motivating this mechanism to make
+ * use of additional EFI map entries. Future platforms may want
+ * to allow more than three entries per node or otherwise refine
+ * this size.
