x86/boot/e820: Call the PCI gap a 'gap' in the boot log printout

It is a bit weird and inconsistent that the PCI gap is
advertised during bootup as 'mem'ory:

  [mem 0xc0000000-0xfed1bfff] available for PCI devices
   ^^^

It's not really memory, it's a gap that PCI devices can decode
and use and they often do not map it to any memory themselves.

So advertise it for what it is, a gap:

  [gap 0xc0000000-0xfed1bfff] available for PCI devices
