H. Peter Anvin 5e47c478b0 x86: remove zImage support
Impact: obsolete feature removal

The zImage kernel format has been functionally unused for a very long
time.  It is just barely possible to build a modern kernel that still
fits within the zImage size limit, but it is highly unlikely that
anyone ever uses it.  Furthermore, although it is still supported by
most bootloaders, it has been at best poorly tested (or not tested at
all); some bootloaders are even known to not support zImage at all and
not having even noticed.

Also remove some really obsolete constants that no longer have any
meaning.
