x86/exceptions: Make IST index zero based
The defines for the exception stack (IST) array in the TSS are using the
SDM convention IST1 - IST7. That causes all sorts of code to subtract 1 for
array indices related to IST. That's confusing at best and does not provide
any value.
Make the indices zero based and fixup the usage sites. The only code which
needs to adjust the 0 based index is the interrupt descriptor setup which
needs to add 1 now.
