efi/libstub: Distinguish between native/mixed not 32/64 bit
Currently, we support mixed mode by casting all boot time firmware
calls to 64-bit explicitly on native 64-bit systems, and to 32-bit
on 32-bit systems or 64-bit systems running with 32-bit firmware.
Due to this explicit awareness of the bitness in the code, we do a
lot of casting even on generic code that is shared with other
architectures, where mixed mode does not even exist. This casting
leads to loss of coverage of type checking by the compiler, which
we should try to avoid.
So instead of distinguishing between 32-bit vs 64-bit, distinguish
between native vs mixed, and limit all the nasty casting and
pointer mangling to the code that actually deals with mixed mode.
