libpayload: Make 8250 UART driver relocation safe
`lib_sysinfo->serial` is a virtual pointer into coreboot tables. It's not valid across relocation. Accessing the wrong value during relocation of FILO resulted in a hang with DEBUG_SEGMENT and UART console enabled. Work around that by caching the whole table entry locally. An alternative would be to revise `sysinfo`, to contain no virtual pointers to anything outside the payload.
