grub_efi_get_ram_base() looks for the lowest available RAM address by
traversing the memory map, comparing lowest address found so far.
Due to a brain glitch, that "so far" was initialized to GRUB_UINT_MAX -
completely preventing boot on systems without RAM below 4GB.

Change the initial value to GRUB_EFI_MAX_USABLE_ADDRESS, as originally
intended.
