lguest: switch segment-voodoo-numbers to readable symbols
When studying lguest's x86 segment descriptor code, it is not longer necessary to have the Intel x86 architecture manual open on the page with the segment descriptor illustration to understand the crazy numbers assigned to both descriptor structure halves a/b. Now the struct desc_struct's fields, like suggested by Glauber de Oliveira Costa in 2008, are used.
