[PATCH 4/4] arm64: head: tidy up the Image header definition

Even though support for EFI boot remains entirely optional for arm64,
it is unlikely that we will ever be able to repurpose the image header
fields that the EFI loader relies on, i.e., the magic NOP at offset
0x0 and the PE header address at offset 0x3c.
So let's factor out the differences into a 'magic_nop' macro and a local
symbol representing the PE header address, and move the conditional
definitions into efi-header.S, taking into account whether CONFIG_EFI is
enabled or not.
