libpayload: Cache physical location of strings
In the presence of self-relocating payloads, it's safer to keep
physical addresses in `libsysinfo`. This updates the remaining
pointers that are not consumed by libpayload code, all of them
strings.
Also update the comment that `libsysinfo` only containts physical
addresses.
