x86: Switch to protected_mode_call_1arg for correct argument passing
The payload execution process has been updated to utilize protected_mode_call_1arg in order to guarantee proper handling of function parameters. The previous use of protected_mode_jump with a "jmp" instruction did not allow for proper stack setup for argument passing, as the calling convention was not aligned with the System V ABI calling convention. This patch ensures that calling into the libpayload entry point using protected mode is now aligned with the System V ABI calling convention. This resolves an issue where retrieving the "pointer to coreboot tables" from within the libpayload entry point was failing due to incorrect argument passing. BUG=b:332759882 TEST=Built and booted 64-bit coreboot with 32-bit payload successfully.
