x86: Add more comments to the start-up code

The full start-up sequence (TPL->SPL->U-Boot) can be a bit confusing since
each phase has its own 'start' file. Add comments to explain this.

/*
* U-Boot - x86 Startup Code
*
* This is always the first code to run from the U-Boot source. To spell it out:
*
* 1. When TPL (Tertiary Program Loader) is enabled, the boot flow is
* TPL->SPL->U-Boot and this file is used for TPL. Then start_from_tpl.S is used
* for SPL and start_from_spl.S is used for U-Boot proper.
*
* 2. When SPL (Secondary Program Loader) is enabled, but not TPL, the boot
* flow is SPL->U-Boot and this file is used for SPL. Then start_from_spl.S is
* used for U-Boot proper.
*
* 3. When neither TPL nor SPL is used, this file is used for U-Boot proper.
