    libpayload: x86/exec - simplify and robustify the code
    
    Simplify the code by directly using the arguments on the stack as base
    pointer relative memory references, instead of loading them into
    intermediate registers first.
    
    Make it more robust by preserving all callee saved registers mandated by
    the C calling convention (and only those), namely EBP, EBX, ESI and EDI.
    
    Don't assume anything about the register state when the called function
    returns -- beside the segment registers and the stack pointer to be
    still the same as before the call.
