Preserve hii section in GCC binaries

According to UEFI spec:
Once an image is loaded, LoadImage() installs
EFI_HII_PACKAGE_LIST_PROTOCOL on the handle if the image contains a
custom PE/COFF resource with the type 'HII'. The protocol's
interface pointer points to the HII package list which is contained
in the resource's data.

This is controlled by the UEFI_HII_RESOURCE_SECTION define in the INF
file.  When present the HII resource is linked with the module
binary.

Unfortunately GCC-built binaries have been stripping the .hii section
entirely.  See  "[edk2] HII gEfiHiiPackageListProtocolGuid problem
with  GCC48(VS2012x86 works)"

This patch tells the linker to preserve the .hii sections
