[librm] Transition to protected mode within init_librm()
Long-mode operation will require page tables, which are too large to
sensibly fit in our .data16 segment in base memory.
Add a portion of init_librm() running in 32-bit protected mode to
provide access to high memory. Use this portion of init_librm() to
initialise the .textdata variables "virt_offset", "text16", and
"data16", eliminating the redundant (re)initialisation currently
performed on every mode transition as part of real_to_prot().
