x86/boot/e820: Clean up __e820__update_table() et al



The __e820__update_table() function has various weirdly named variables,
such as 'pbios', 'biosmap' and 'pnr_map' which are pretty confusing
and actively misleading at times.

This weird naming found its way into other functions as well, such as
__append_e820_table() and append_e820_table().

Standardize the naming to make it all much easier to read:

	biosmap  ->  entries
	pbios    ->  entry
	nr_map   ->  nr_entries
        pnr_map  ->  nr_entries
	...

Also clean up the types used: entry indices routinely mixed u32 and int,
standardize on u32 thoughout.

Update the comments as well, while at it.

No change in functionality.
