[Skiboot] [PATCH 15/34] main: Copy all exception vectors down

If we aren't loaded at 0 before relocation, we have no exception
handlers. This is annoying when debugging, but will be deadly
when we start using NAP mode which wakes up via the system reset
interrupt at 0x100.
So instead, let's copy the whole vectors block down. We are careful
to avoid 0..0x100 since that contains the boot flags which are
still "hot" as secondaries might still be entering skiboot.
