The IMAGE_DLLCHARACTERISTICS_NX_COMPAT informs the firmware that the
EFI binary does not rely on pages that are both executable and
writable.
The flag is used by some distro versions of GRUB to decide if the EFI
binary may be executed.
As the Linux kernel neither has RWX sections nor needs RWX pages for
relocation we should set the flag.

ld does not handle relocations correctly as explained here [1],
a fix for that was proposed by Nelson there but we have to support older
toolchains and then provide this fix.
Note that llvm does not need this fix and is then excluded.

Linux kernel Image can appear as an EFI application With appropriate
PE/COFF header fields in the beginning of the Image header. An EFI
application loader can directly load a Linux kernel Image and an EFI
stub residing in kernel can boot Linux kernel directly.
Add the necessary PE/COFF header.

[ardb: - use C prefix for c.li to ensure the expected opcode is emitted
- align all image sections according to PE/COFF section alignment ]
