x86/jump_table: Use relative references

Similar to the arm64 case, 64-bit x86 can benefit from using relative
references rather than absolute ones when emitting struct jump_entry
instances. Not only does this reduce the memory footprint of the entries
themselves by 33%, it also removes the need for carrying relocation
metadata on relocatable builds (i.e., for KASLR) which saves a fair
chunk of .init space as well (although the savings are not as dramatic
as on arm64)
