x86/boot: Calculate decompression size during boot not build
Currently z_extract_offset is calculated in boot/compressed/mkpiggy.c. This doesn't work well because mkpiggy.c doesn't know the details of the decompressor in use. As a result, it can only make an estimation, which has risks: - output + output_len (VO) could be much bigger than input + input_len (ZO). In this case, the decompressed kernel plus relocs could overwrite the decompression code while it is running. - The head code of ZO could be bigger than z_extract_offset. In this case an overwrite could happen when the head code is running to move ZO to the end of buffer. Though currently the size of the head code is very small it's still a potential risk. Since there is no rule to limit the size of the head code of ZO, it runs the risk of suddenly becoming a (hard to find) bug. Instead, this moves the z_extract_offset calculation into header.S, and makes adjustments to be sure that the above two cases can never happen, and further corrects the comments describing the calculations. Since we have (in the previous patch) made ZO always be located against the end of decompression buffer, z_extract_offset is only used here to calculate an appropriate buffer size (INIT_SIZE), and is not longer used elsewhere. As such, it can be removed from voffset.h. Additionally clean up #if/#else #define to improve readability.
