x86/boot/e820: Standardize e820 table index variable types under 'u32'

Browse source

So we have 'idx' types of 'int' and 'unsigned int', and sometimes
we assign 'u32' fields such as e820_table::nr_entries to these 'int'
values.

While there's no real risk of overflow with these tables, make it
all cleaner by standardizing on a single type: u32.

This also happens to shrink the code a bit:

   text      data      bss        dec        hex    filename
   7745     44072        0      51817       ca69    e820.o.before
   7613     44072        0      51685       c9e5    e820.o.after
