timestamps: Improve collection for ENV_ROMSTAGE_OR_BEFORE

Keep track of the active timestamp table location using
a CAR_GLOBAL variable. Done this way, the entire table
can be located outside _car_relocatable_data and we only
switch the pointer to CBMEM and copy the data before
CAR gets torn down.

Fix comments about requirements of timestamp_init() usage.

Remove timestamp_cache from postcar and ramstage, as CBMEM
is available early on.
