With the change to index irq_desc[] by IRQ rather than by vector, the
prior implicit change of the used flow handler when altering the IRQ
routing path to go through the 8259A didn't work anymore, and hence
on boards needing the ExtINT delivery workaround failed to boot.

Make make_8259A_irq() a real function again, thus allowing the flow
handler to be changed there.

Also eliminate the generally superfluous and (at least theoretically)
dangerous hard coded setting of the flow handler for IRQ0: Earlier
code should have set this already based on information coming from
ACPI/MPS, and non-standard systems may e.g. have this IRQ level
triggered.
