x86/boot/e820: Simplify append_e820_table() and remove restriction on single-entry tables

So append_e820_table() begins with this weird condition that checks 'nr_entries':

    static int __init append_e820_table(struct boot_e820_entry *entries, u32 nr_entries)
    {
            /* Only one memory region (or negative)? Ignore it */
            if (nr_entries < 2)
                    return -1;

Firstly, 'nr_entries' has been an u32 since 2017 and cannot be negative.

Secondly, there's nothing inherently wrong with single-entry E820 maps,
especially in virtualized environments.

So remove this restriction and remove the __append_e820_table()
indirection.

Also:

 - fix/update comments
 - remove obsolete comments

This shrinks the generated code a bit as well:

   text       data        bss        dec        hex    filename
   7549      44072          0      51621       c9a5    e820.o.before
   7533      44072          0      51605       c995    e820.o.after
