Add and consistently use wrapper macro for romstage static variables

x86 systems run their romstage as execute-in-place from flash, which
prevents them from having writable data segments. In several code pieces
that get linked into both romstage and ramstage, this has been worked
around by using a local variable and having the 'static' storage class
guarded by #ifndef __PRE_RAM__.

However, x86 is the only architecture using execute-in-place (for now),
so it does not make sense to impose the restriction globally. Rather
than fixing the #ifdef at every occurrence, this should really be
wrapped in a way that makes it easier to modify in a single place. The
chromeos/cros_vpd.c file already had a nice approach for a wrapper
macro, but unfortunately restricted it to one file... this patch moves
it to stddef.h and employs it consistently throughout coreboot.

BRANCH=nyan
BUG=None
TEST=Measured boot time on Nyan_Big before and after, confirmed that it
gained 6ms from caching the FMAP in vboot_loader.c.
