x86, vmlinux.lds: unify .text output sections

32 bit x86 had a dedicated .text.head output section,
whereas 64 bit had it all in a single output section.

In the unified version the dedicated .text.head output section
was kept to have full control over the head code.

32 bit:

- Moved definition of _stext to the linker script.
  The definition is located _after_ .text.page_aligned as this
  is what 32 bit did before.

The ALIGN(8) was introduced so we hit the exact same address
(on the tested config) before and after the move.

I assume that it is a bug that _stext did not cover the
.text.page_aligned section - if this is true it can be fixed
in a follow-up patch (and the ugly ALIGN() can be dropped).

[ Impact: 64-bit: cleanup, 32-bit: use the 64-bit linker script ]
