In allocate_e820(), call the EFI get_memory_map() service directly
instead of indirectly via efi_get_memory_map(). This avoids allocation
of a buffer and return of the full EFI memory map, which is not needed
here and would otherwise need to be freed.
Routine allocate_e820() only needs to know how many EFI memory
descriptors there are in the map to allocate an adequately sized
e820ext buffer, if it's needed. Note that since efi_get_memory_map()
returns a memory map buffer sized with extra headroom, allocate_e820()
now needs to explicitly factor that into the e820ext size calculation.

Update the description of of efi_relocate_kernel() to match Sphinx style.
Update parameter references in the description of other memory functions
to use @param style.

The implementation of efi_high_alloc() uses a complicated way of
traversing the memory map to find an available region that is located
as close as possible to the provided upper limit, and calls AllocatePages
subsequently to create the allocation at that exact address.
This is precisely what the EFI_ALLOCATE_MAX_ADDRESS allocation type
argument to AllocatePages() does, and considering that EFI_ALLOC_ALIGN
only exceeds EFI_PAGE_SIZE on arm64, let's use AllocatePages() directly
and implement the alignment using code that the compiler can remove if
it does not exceed EFI_PAGE_SIZE.

Create a new source file mem.c to keep the routines involved in memory
allocation and deallocation and manipulation of the EFI memory map.
