[SeaBIOS] [PATCH v4] Update EFI_COMPATIBILITY16_TABLE to match 0.98 spec update

Unless CONFIG_MALLOC_UPPERMEMORY is turned off, we expect to use the
space between the top of option ROMs and the bottom of our own BIOS code
as a stack. OVMF was previously marking the whole region from 0xC0000 to
0xFFFFF read-only before invoking our Legacy16Boot method. Read-only
stack considered harmful.

Version 0.98 of the CSM spec adds the UmaAddress and UmaSize fields which
allow the CSM to specify a memory region that needs to be writeable, so
provide that information.
